Probably wise to give floor extra clean before marking the cuts

Time to reflect
I will most likely run out of time completing this car ( sorry guys )
Maybe just over a week til few coat of white , rubbed nice n flat so no orange peel
Thinking more about the interior as ive already picked factory white 821 inside-out
Contemplating ... All Carbon and Bare Metal interior !!
Also thinking plastic wrap the car for protection while away
But those struts n diff look "Manky" when everything else will look tidy
Decisions decisions 1 or the other

On a lighter note, I have my A-Series motor picked out ( something real special )

Paint wise you wont notice 821 to the Por15 whitecoate
but the Por15 will have harder finish, anti rust properties
that keep working on any oxidization due to oil content being
designed to keep converting rust and off the shelf anywhere.
Bare metal interior for sure but how about a period vinyl job
to prevent in case of worse case scenario shards of carbon fiber
lodging into your innards!

Jacky Steward inserts with either black or brown vinyl wont be
too bad considering the era :) Its all white metal so there has
to be something to contrast it that you like. Nice polished speedhole
alum panels there and there as well, suede or leather too are overlooked.

Luv the yellow tartan fabric,
but my painter is pushing me to keep it factory colors for re-sale value. Were as in matt bare metal ( basically rubbed down with 2000 grit ) and carbon can be removed and converted back to original easily .

You can use the 821 tint to the whitecoate, its better paint
than anything out there used on marine, air and space apps.

Bare metal interior sounds sweet, personally like white
everywhere, it shows up rust spots and oil stains etc.
Unless they can polish out the welds it wont look as neat
with all the patch work but definitely interesting.

How about composite bamboo instead of carbon fibre as it
will be just as light add a nicer cream tone than cold grey
and ability to control the bamboo fiber color with a tint?

It will be like an interior art exhibition, you only need sections of 10%
cutt off from illustrations stretched across the panels to avoid copyrights
