...and the great majority of ERA owners use the supplied cloth to cover the inside of the trunk lid.
As for the underside of the engine cover (hood to all you Americans) that requires work... or a fabricated aluminum sheet. On my second ERA427sc, I took an aluminum sheet with a cutout for the hood scoop (and, therefore, split at the rear) and slipped it behind the fiberglass inner hood support structure. With the notch and opening for the hood scoop, I was able to curve the sheet so that it, from the underside, appeared to follow the shape of the hood. The rivets that held the hood scoop, went through and held the panel up against the underside of the hood.

Whoa - smooth door insides also. You do have your work cut out for you. Looks like you have a real good start on it though.

It has been a while since my last post. Did not like the way the doors looked even smoothed out with the rivets showing so I made door panels to cover them up. To make it all flush, made an insert panel then an outter door panel. They are bonded to the door. Finished the smoothing of the trunk, hood, and some of the engine compartment where the foot boxes do not hide the engine bay. Looking to send car to paint in a month.....i hope....

I can see you have been busy. That's looking good. What are you going to do around the edges of the sheet metal pieces on the doors - apply seam sealer? You are correct that even if filled over and around, the rivets would eventually reflect through the paint.

Hey Phil - you're at an exciting point. The body looks great. Once it has paint on it you will think you've leaped 10 steps ahead. Are you doing your own painting or do you have someone painting it for you?

Dan, took car in for the paint. My friends nieghbor owns a paint shop, they are blocking and painting car for me. XB-60, yes still going with Viking Blue 1964 race season color scheme with a wimbeldon white stripe. Building a 66 F250 with the same color combo, going to be my tow truck to the track. Tim, Just going with a flat black and satin black finish on the interior. Going to powder coat the dash and roll-bar satin black. Now that cars in shop started doing body work on the truck.... Goodtimes....

Phil, I've seen an F truck in Viking blue, and perfect colour for that as well.
Cheers,
Glen
