He is going to remove this false panel in the near future and send me some photos of the false panel and chassis without this panel attached. He is also going to get the Body and chassis numbers when he has time. Keep watching for updates.
Maybe the panels were just designed as a sort of "accessory" - to make it easy to paint them to match the body, without trying to paint he old frame underneath? Just pondering the purpose . . .
