Markp.comThats very... red! 
What are the white bits? Sealant? Are you going over it all with that black tar stuff as well? I have no idea what the process is... but will no doubt have to learn
first, eching primer (red) the white and the black are 2 different types of seam sealer,then the underside will be stone chipped and then painted with 2 pack and then all the cavities will be pumped full of waxoyl. that then will hopefully mean no rot for many a year to come. by the black stuff i assume you mean underseal? yuck i hate that stuff,even though it previously saved the underneath of the car its very messy and looks terrible in my opinion hence why im stone chipping it, which is a soft sealer that has a hard cust form on top that can be painted.
MrG240ZLooks good Grolls.
What contraption are you using to turn the chassis on its side ??
The contraption that is holding the car at each end is Fourways roll over equipment (it bolts to the chassis points where your bumpers mount)
The single wheel that is bolted where the engine cross member would normally be is Fourways own design, it has two wheels bolted to the rear (not in pic) this allows the shell to be moved about easily.

Ohhhhhhh now that explains a few things.
Have to make one then
Did you get your shell from them? It looks perfect. I am looking to source a genuine (original bulk head) and very very good 70/71/72 RHD 240 rolling shell for a long term project. Or was yours pretty good and the wizards at Fourways made it very good?

as per normal my car had its problems, i was lucky, the car had been in a barn for 12 years and was smothered in underseal (about 6 black bags worth after i hot air gunned it off) more time and money was spent putting other ppls repairs right rather than bringing the shell upto scratch....lots of bodgers out there!Russ said:Ohhhhhhh now that explains a few things.

as for your sheel or bulk head russ, i know Fourways have a 260 bulk head in stock not sure about a 240 one. they also had a new 240 shell...not sure if they sold it or indeed the cost!

thanks for your comments guys, so far i'm very happy with the way its gone and yes it was shed loads of hard work but i was lucky to find a car with a reasnable underside. I would like to point out that i will never ever blast a car body shell again...jeeeze what a pain.
