I put in the rest of the driver's side inner top panel on the footbox. There's a cutout hole in it which I decided not to rivet in but screwed in as it seemed like one might want access to that later on (for reasons like adjusting the balance bar on the brakes.)
I think you can tell in the above photo that I had some more light to work with today. :-) Also, big thanks to my neighbor Zack for letting me use an extension cord to run the air compressor that runs my riveter.
Before the body goes on I thought I might go around and put in some panels that might be hard to drill holes for once the body is on. Here are two oval patch panels in the trunk I put on. Again here I used screws because these cover the fuel level sender in the fuel tank and the fuel pump. I've had a couple times where the fuel pump connector was iffy and needed some adjusting so I didn't want to rivet myself away from opening this up in the future. I may later on use a screw with a flatter head though. These were the screws that came with the car holding a bunch of aluminum panels in place.
Next up is to finish fitting the roll bars to get their mounts drilled. I think bulb seal goes around some spots on the car and then the body! Then it'll get moved to the garage I'm at which has power.
