I was thinking of cutting a wood panel and screw it onto the bottom of the chassis as well. But shiny aluminium panel would be very nice and much better come to think of it. I have a mitre saw which can cut metal, so it is possible to to cut into exact measure, drill the screw holes to the chassis, and yes it is possible.

It will be the final stage of the restoration. It will be the exciting moment then.
