Default RE: Great Planes 40 Clipped Cub Kit Rebuild

Pics show cleaned up nosed and the copy of the firewall from the plans I 3m sprayed to some card stock to draw an exact outline. Cut and sanded the firewall and attached at the base to the fuse structure that was still there. I lined the fuse up over the plan to be sure I had the correct right thrust and there is no downthrust. Once the epoxy cures I'll go about rebuilding the nose around it. I'm going to add another tank flooor over what is there to ensure a solid connection. I originally thought I could keep the bottom front piece but after looking more closely it was pushed in and I removed the wholed thing. I had a heavy hub on the front so I"m not to concerned about a little extra weight. Maybe when done, I can go with a standard prop hub.
