Will;
Only suggestion i would make is to seal the crack between the firewall
panel and the chassis cross rail. The fire wall fits behind the rail
and there is nothing to seal out water. Every Morgan I've ever rebuilt
had bad rust in the area from the trapped water.
3 M has a product called Drip Check. It come in a tube and is a
rubberize type caulk. Its paintable so and holds the paint well while
keeping out the water.
See My next post for more details on its use.
BTW My only Financial interests in the 3 M company is a 20 cent off
coupon on my the next roll of Scotch tape.
Make sure That 4/4 engine gets painted a nice color. If it can't go
fast it should at least look pretty!! :)
