| There's a place that was covered by tape that showed and required repainting. then continued fitting glareshield. 1st was to trim |
|
| the underside so it fit flush with the instrument panel. Then I modifiedthe sides. First by extending the fiberglass to reach the |
|
| door frame/posts. I did an 8 ply lay-up on the right side (too much) and then sanded/trimed it to fit the contour. then I used body |
|
| filler to build up & extend and taper the 'face' of the glareshield to a natural blend on the right side. sanded that all to blend and |
|
| then I covered the extended portion with 2 plys of BID cloth. With the right side fit, I repeated the same procedure for the left |
|
| side, only I haven't glassed the final extended/contoured edge yet. I applied Velcro to the door upholstery panels and the |
|
| attached them to their respective doors, and rehung the doors. They look REALLY good !!!!!. while waiting for some fiberglass to |
|
| cure, I lengthened the support brace for the left side engine probes harness, the old location had the harness resting on the #6 |
|
| EGT probe and that's not good, so I made a new bracker 1/2" longer and now the probe is above the harness/cluster. I'm doing |
|
| an experiment on door hinge covers. I tried making one out of .032" using an edge roller, but I wasn't satisfied with the result, so |
|
| I sanded some 1/4" foam, and did a 4 ply lay-up oveer it, and then trimed and sanded it to final shape. I test fit it on the cabin |
|
| cover and it looks like it should work fine, so I'm makeing 3 others to match. With the curved edges there's enough of a spring |
|
| tension on the surface to keep the pieces from being ripped off (I hope!!!) |
