Corbet, I bought that stuff at NAPA, for $5 bucks a can. There is some more expensive stuff (see the link above) that is the same stuff but can be top-coated... no need for that in my application.

Hope it helps.

Two things.
I found this on another site. It's a way to drain and fill the water tank I thought was well done.

Also,
On the fenders. I saw the way you mounted the fender to the sheet metal. It looked like to me it might cause the metal wall to flex when you do some bumpy roads. Essentially the fenders might, ever so slightly "flap" like wings on that wall.

If you tacked the top to the center support you could eliminate a bit of flex there. It's just an observation.
I marked the supports in red.
Thanks we will see how it goes, I am using large fender washers on the backside of the panel so I bet they hold pretty good. I mounted them up and saw very very little flex... I can live with that!
