Today's small progress:

Moment of truth - Time to tie the aft end together. The photo doesn't show well, but the fuse is laid upside down on the top view, and the firewall and front sides lined up to the plan. then I pinned the front end. I pulled the back end together, and held it with a couple of clothespins. It was off center. Remove, adjust, replace. Repeat. Now it is centered. Look carefully from all angles, measure as best as you can, then hold your breath and put a drop or two of CA in the joint. Pray. Cross fingers. Cross toes. Take shallow breaths.

I THINK IT'S STRAIGHT (cue for applause, streamers and confetti, champagne cork pops in the background)

Phew! OK, now to insure it doesn't move, quickly put some of the bottom sheeting in place.

More to come tomorrow. Or the next day.
