Continueing with the tank tops

Work proceeding on the center line tank tops. Only got a half day in today. I had to go buy more materials...

The first picture shows the 3 lower tops in place. Getting there.

I added an layer of biax material over the ledge at the front end of the port and starboard tanks. I also started the fairing work on the inside tank walls. All that grinding dust makes a very good filler for fairing. I just sift it through a 14 x14 window screen to remove all the big stuff. I want the insides of the tanks to be very smooth which will make it much easiner to keep them clean.

Here a shot of the upper and lower tank tops. The upper top is new plywood with the bottom side glassed.  The lower one is the lower center top with the glass work done on the top side.
Next step will be to cut and finish the access port holes. then I will fair both sides in prep for painting.

Another shot of the upper center tank top. Ready to trim the glass where it overhangs the ply.





Onward!!
