August 26, 2008 - Finish Glassing, Oil Filler Door

The epoxied fiberglass strips were nice and dry from the day before.  They looked pretty good.

I laid down the last two strips.  The wider strips are definately harder to work with.  Very messy.  I wear thin rubber gloves and it's a good thing.  The gloves were covered with epoxy by the time I was gone. 

Next step is to do some sanding, then apply three coats of epoxy.  Then lots more sanding and filling. 

 

I did some sanding and trimming of my grafted tabs, then drilled center holes for the Camloc recepticles. 

 
Using the cowl holes as a drilling template, I match-drilled the door holes. 
 
Using the Camloc drilling template, I drilled the recepticle mounting holes.  Then using a second drilling template, I used a Unibit to drill the 11/16" center holes.
