Jack

As ever, your attention to detail is an inspiration to we "approximate" restorers.

Thanks Lang.

I removed the body to paint the underside and to make it easier to fit the floorboards.

I don't have any clues as to what the floorboards are held down with but as the body is held down with large wide head bolts I decided to use these elevator bolts I found on the internet and imported from the States.

The boards are varnished and I sprayed the underside with body deadener.
It is ready to refit permanently.
