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.

Before After

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!...
