Prepared angle iron entrance step frame for painting. Applied epoxy filler to top surface of top step frame to fill pits left after blasting away the rust. Applied first coat of red oxide.
Did some filling and sanding on the front bulkhead repair, need to make sure this is all ready for spraying with red oxide when I do the stair enclosure and the chassis.
Finished scewing the steel front bulkhead to the frame with countersunk ss no.14 screws. Still stripping paint from around the window area using heat gun.
Waxoyled rear of steel front bulkhead where new steel had been welded in previously. Drilled through holes and countersunk for 1/4″ ss screws with nuts pressed into the frame. Continued heat stripping of remaining paint from the bulkhead.
