Rebuilding Wheel Fairings - 4/13/00
Just before I bought the plane, the plane landed on a very narrow
runway and got off
far enough off the edge to hit a runway light with the left wheel fairing. It didn't
"fair" so
well... I couldn't find another fairing to match the good one so my son and I decided to
rebuild it. Here's a recap of our progress.






First Glass...


Add More Glass and A Little Bondo...
This is where my son really takes over. He's great with a block sander and
a paint gun.


Some Primer...


Little Touch-Up After Installation

The "Other" project in the background... 57 Chevy, 450hp 396cu,
Muncie 4-speed

And More Paint...


and Volia!...
