[Healeys] Boot pan to shroud

[Rich C]

Bob,

We apply quality paint to each surface before assembly. The joint needs to 
be a good close tight fit for the blind aluminum rivets to be installed. I 
then follow up with a clear silicone caulking applied to the inside surface 
joint so no water can creep into the boot area from below. This will be 
totally hidden by the boot lining Armacord.
