So outer frame is now glued in place, want to call it done! next stage will be dry fitting all the cowl sections to make sure things line up correctly...

She is a beaut Wayne, shame it's all going to be boxed in.

Not quite, the aim is to have the sides detached to view the work done....only the top and bottom will be fixed....

Thanks for your continued visits, comments and support guys!

be Sunday before tackling anything further but this should wet your appetite...

cheers fellas, it's much improved with the engine fitted.....it's not fixed yet as I need to make sure the cowl sections DO fit correctly.

I was actually considering changing to Caldwell's machine with the engine open and doing the sharkmouth later, closed up....but I'm committed to it now so I said to myself...suck it up sunshine! :D
 
Thanks Vic...well, first paint went on today the white ID markings...
