Re: lightweight v8 project
Some progress pics the tub is painted up! Need to get the upper side pieces in paint still. I’ve gone with a stone guard type paint for the floor and I’m going to use some boat deck timber for the floor.

Re: lightweight v8 project
The problem I have with the dogs is they scratch the deck with their nails! I quite like the old wooden look, there’s a company I e seen in Holland that have done the back benches in wood too thought it was a nice touch.
