Using 1600 wet & dry I cleaned up the top of the panel, just taking the edge off the primer surfacer and prep'd for the new 2 pot top coat. The black top coat went on quite well, but is slightly more glossy than I would like - hopefully it will dry down. Not sure yet if it will need another rub down / top coat for a primo finish.
Then we got all keen and did some pro-seal'ing, it has been a while since we played with 'black death'.
Main items to be completed were the firewall corners and doubler plate - these are needed before the engine frame can be mounted for good.
With excess pro-seal mixed, I grabbed the plenum cover and tried to sort the forward edge. The idea is to let this set (as a glue) and then dimple / rivet / fill as needed.
