Lesser educated people call it "silicone".

Well I created the bulk of the new forward frame today, and you can see from the driver's seat point of view, that I have create the flat sides internally just as I wanted. This will make life a lot easier to design and build the new footwell box.

Also the new frame is a lot faster, easier and cheaper to build.

Remember that when you save an hour here and there on a production run of many items, it all adds up to, no, not more cars produced, but the Wife finding new useless things for you to do around the house ... sigh ....

with your foot well box on one end and the gas tank on the other, I'm really looking forward to seeing how you will route the exhaust
