Default Scuttle

I've started the scuttle. There is still quite a bit of straightening and shrinking left to be done, but the basic shape is there.


I'm going to have to try heat shrinking, which I've never done. It doesn't need much as before I welded it up it was pretty close.



Chance are my shrinking efforts might end in me starting again.

I've set the BMW hinges into the bulkhead. I'm hoping I can get the bonnet to hope without fouling. I'm also hoping the release works too, else this bulkhead is another 'prototype'.



It's the top triple curve panel that's going to be the challenge

My workshop is very damp / flooded, so this shiny metal will be red in a couple days. I'm having trouble getting Gibbs penetration Oil.

Does anyone know of a paintable rust proofer - an oil / wax etc?
