I am more hopeful now of the end date.

The red metal has only surface rust from when it went up on an open trailer. It will be bare metal and treated.

Wouldn't it make more sense to paint the shell while it's bare ?

Outside was painted a while back, I don’t want to paint it and then find something needs to be changed etc...simple to build it, run it then strip for paint. I will scotch off the panels and seal them with primer.
