Since the weather is getting better here in Germoney, I did some stinky stuff outside:

I received my orbit sander today (about 5" diameter) and did some fine sanding on the cowl moulding (grid 400), did some filler work on the top (2k polyester fine car filler). Some work to prepare the actual surface detailling work:


I prepared a jig to actually glas and fill both wings at once. Secured and stick to this jog with the 30mm wing joiner both vertical (to glass at once) and filler (horizontal). I will put some extra weight to the bottom piece for a solid stand:


The wheel pants were adjusted a last time, finally some 163gr glass cloth to sand and filler tomorrow.


all the Best,
Christopher
