Per, only the bonnet is alum, as it is seperated from the body. The body/base structure was originally steel, so those new attaching panels are also. Viewing is not much issue and yes I do as you suggest. I use markers on the underside and the residue after wiping leaves a film. Rub the panels on the buck to get witness marks to see where to work.

Kerry, I used an inline body sander and coarse disc sander on some outer spacing blocks inside the shop and yes there was a lot of dust. I used 2 window fans near an overhead door move dust near the door and then out the door. As I look back, it is amazing what few and inexpensive tools were required. David would be proud of that!
