Re: [VAL] RE: Interior Help



Hi RJ, Chuck & Lynn here.  Trying to follow your plan for black & gray water tanks 
for our 1957 F/C.  I see in the pictures the tanks hang down below the bellypan, 
how were you planning to close up the bottom around the tanks?  Perhaps ypu could 
email me offline, and I can send some photos of what I have and you could make 
suggestions, if you have time.   

Thanks,
chuck & Lynn
