Done a Bunch - Need some Lunch
Great day for working outside. A cool 60 degrees (F) in the shop.
Front visor skin, attached
Attaching lower side panels
Removed the body, so as to get a better working angle.
So, everything has gone.... topsy turvy
Template
Bending to shape
Fit check prior to welding
All surfaces cleaned with Acetone
Yet we have a malfunction of the welding process !
Not sure what happened here.
Had to file down the 'globs' and try again.
Success on second try.
First panel done
Both panels are in and tight
All that remains at this point, is to grind off the excess sheet metal, that I allowed, just to make sure of a good fit.
I suppose the body is now up to a +/- 90 lbs.
