Default Filling in the holes

There's not much metal shaping in these, but here's some progress pictures sheeting off the chassis outside.

First, I filled the spaces with 1.5" rigid insulation foam, fit up some 3003 .040, beat the edges around the corners and riveted it in place. The main trick that worked well was using nylon tie down straps with ratchets to pull the aluminum tight on the bottom and edges for drilling and riveting.
