Hello all,

I have a 320 nearing completion.  The problem is what
is the best way to finish the wheel wells.

My concerns include:
Corrosion and inspections.  

Some of the parts have taken a few dings while being
assembled and moved around.  I am wondering if it is
worth it to pull out all the hardware and prep it for
its final installation.  There is a mix of metal in
there as you all know so I not sure what is the best
practice.  I am leaning toward stripping/cleaning all
the metal and the priming and painting. 

Is it worth it.  I not going for a show queen, but
want to maximize safety and longevity. 

Also any ideas for color in the wheel wells.
Light good for inspections but shows dirt.
dark, hides dirt but hard to inspect.

Happy Building

Mike Clark
