Default RE: GP Tracer

It seems that I have run into a little obstacle, I think that the Captain of the Titanic said that.[sm=crying.gif]

Last night I squared the wing to the fuse, fitted the belly pan and tack glued it into place. Everything was going so well at this point I removed the wing and really glued the belly pan on, with thick CA. I was so happy.[8D]

This morning I went flying before work and, while traversing back and forth through the garage to get my stuff, I kept looking at the Tracer. Something just didn't look right. Upon close inspection I recognized the problem. Somehow I managed to do all that work last night with the wing right side up. It was supposed to be upside down.[X(]

I have no idea of how to remove the belly pan without destroying it, the wing or both. The guys at the field agreed with the numerous derogatory statements I made about myself, but had nothing to offer, other than cutting and hoping. Can anyone help out a stupid mechanic?[sm=drowning.gif]
