A little more mild sanding & buffing to make the paint surface perfect.

Pretty productive weekend given I only worked about 8 to 10 hours on the car. Doing a full mockup on everything before powder coat and paint definitely speeds up the final assembly process.

One thing nice about tube floor structure with removable carbon floor panels is the room to get in there to work. The down side is there is no place to lay tools or hardware, wiring or supplies. Came up with this idea. Some large baking sheets and some soft drawer liner foam and some spray glue. The drawer liner material should keep from scratching the powder coating on the chassis.

Maybe I'll take some time to wire up the steering wheel button so I can use the practice tree again. ;) :D
