Lower door
The lower door is balsa stick framed and styrene covered.
The door is held with three 2/56 button head screws tap threaded into the gear lower strut.
Balsa is glued to the door and sanded to the desired contouring.
The styrene skin is glued to the frame, then trimmed and sanded flush, the sides then get glued, trimmed and sanded.
The door tapers as it goes from the bottom to the top as to clear the ole strut.
The wheel will get shimmed with fiber washers to keep the wheel from rubbing on the door.
The wheel sits high in the wheel well and once it is shimmed it will still not bottom out.
I will prime the inner side of the doors, sand, then add rivets and paint yellow. I will cover them first.
