Way cool Joe!

MVP! Major Visible Progress!

I had some MVP today too. I did the big cut in my canopy!

It even looks correct to boot!

It is nice when you do a bunch of work and NONE of it seems to be bad!

Hahahaha

Since I didn't mean to completely hijack this thread I'll bow out now and start another.


Keep banging those rivets!

Hey CJ, how about posting a picture of the big cut.
I've been way too busy this summer but will try to make it out to see your project soon.

Wow, nice work, Joe! It really brought it all back... that feeling of putting something together that's really big, and really looks like part of an airplane.

CJ, I just finished the big cut, too! We're finally getting some warmer temps around here, but still hardly a day over 80° this year. It would be fun to compare notes. I think we're neck-and-neck on progress.
