    It will be interesting to see how the afm turns out. Good work so far.

    yeah I remember seeing some Courtney novas having the airfiter poking up through the o/s inner wing.
    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “DAMN, what a ride!!”

    Small update.


    Been in the garage.. Grind, weld, grind, fill, sand... Repete. Sick of it.


    Started by welding the other side of the leg tube, then filling the small cut away at the top. (and the small hole) My welding isn't the tidiest tho)





    The started to lay down a coat of black fiberglass.


    I wanted the mount fully smoothed in as it will be much more on show.







    Didn't like the loom going thru here, as it was on show. So it got welded over and smoothed.





    Sand all that down, then use a finer nicer filler/stopper.





    As you can see i made a few repairs and maybe smoothed a few bits off again..








    Main bit behind the mount.








    Next up is primer and then paint, soon hopefully.

    No? I was getting alot of brown dust when welding, i think my reg is a bit dodgy. As some times its ok and i get a much better weld.
    It all holds strong, think it's work going over the top? Or a flat plate over the top for extra strength?
