February 9, 2006 - Aft Deck

Double-checking the drawings, I realized that there are spacers that go underneath the aft deck.  The spacers have to be fashioned according to the drawings.  Nowhere in the instructions are the spacers mentioned.  I've gradually come to understand that at this point in the project, the instructions are just a general guideline.  The builder had better get extremely familiar with the applicable drawings before cutting, drilling or riveting anything.  And review other builder's sites.

Here I've cut the two spacers I'll need from stock according to the drawings. 

You can't see the spacers, but I duct-taped them to the bulkheads, and match-drilled them, using the aft deck as a template.
