The mornings progress.
I hit the engine doors with the EverCote easy sand.
You can see how easy it goes on. I use an old CC to spread it on. It dries very fast so I was barley able to get one door covered before it dried. It will sand in 15-20 min.
After the first sanding I apply a second coat in the low spots, this should do it.
All the facing and door lips are installed on the cowl. I left them oversized until final fitting of the doors is complete, then I will cut them back.
I have some J-B Weld I have never used so I thought I would try it. I hit all the joints inside of the cowl. Once this dries I will glass the bottom pan.
While I wait on things to dry I am working on the engine door latches.
e
I am using some 2-56 threaded couplers and #2 washers.
I cut them down to size and cut a grove for the washer, this gets soldered.
Two washers, a spring and a nut complete the latch.
I cut down these spring I had laying around.
Here is the prototype.
This should work
