Paul, here are some photos of the S-Beam, powder coated, with the
Barry Mounts.  It is complete and ready to install.   Also, there is
one shot of the pan which I just welded today.  It is bolted to a
steel plate to help control warping.  This pan is what I will be
shipping with all the S-beams except that the two tabs on the sides
are a special item for this particular installation. The pan will
also be powder coated and about that I wonder if I should just have
the outside of the pan done or the inside as well.  Mazda certainly
does paint the inside of their steel pans.  What do you think? Plain
aluminum looks good!  I almost hate to paint it at all.   This the
third pan I built in a month while working out various issues.  The
first two were just learners.       Jerry

the Schertz beam looks great.

I would not bother to powder coat the pan. Anodize if you
want to spend the money.

Have you thought about break bending two sides of the pan and only
welding the other two instead of welding all four sides? might go
a bit quicker certainly will save you the weld time.
