That was considered.
This particular heater required a weather proof installation, so instead of fabricating a box for underneath, this location was chosen.
Plus, this being fueled by diesel requires an occasional refill of the the tank, so it was located just inside the right side treasure chest door for easy access.
Since Larry is fortunate enough to own a dual door SC, he has the entire left side for storage.

I think my computer firewall is killing my replies, but want to reiterate that the work you're doing is incredible, amazing, and blows my mind. I could never have dreamed that that rusty bucket would be transformed the way it has been. Just blows my mind.

Can you see if a magnet sticks? What did you use to build up the rest of the assemblies? |

Magnet sticks...they are triple chrome plated steel according to WW. Wolfy West is actually closed due to the shutdown, so I sourced them from a distributor of theirs in Oklahoma called the Bug Haus.
As far as the build up, I bead blasted all the inner metal, primed and painted with as close to the light gray VW used, replaced the bulbs with 12V stuff and installed new seals on the glass.

| Those innards look brand new. Expect rust on the outer rings or keep them heavily waxed. |
