So yesterday and today I painted the wood underneath and threw on some 3/4" insulation

Something to note.
Avion created the belly pans from 36x72" sheet aluminum. They then proceeded, at least from aft of the axles forward, to create a single belly pan by interlocking the sections together. Should you ever need to remove a particular section you can pry them apart at the seams and then remove sheet metal screws.
I won't be able to replace them this way sadly. I don't have the tooling. Thinking about riveting sections together and then Eternabonding the seams.
We'll see. I'm in Isolation this week.
