Project in process

2001-11-18 by Mike Denman

Hi Maniacs,
Two more photos in Mike Denman's Project album.  In today's first 
photo titled "almost flat" shows the result of sanding down the 
previous resin/fiberglass build up.  There are still a couple of low 
spots but it is getting a lot better. The second photo shows another 
layer of fiberglass that I applied just before leaving for home.  You 
will notice that this layer covers almost the entire rear end upper 
section. I think I will probably have to apply two more layers after 
this layer of fiberglass.  The next layer should allow me to get the 
rear panel absolutely flat.  The last layer will be a finish layer to 
"tie everything together". Most of what I am putting on is getting 
sanded off between layers.  The original panel was probably made with 
two layers of mat and too much resin.  When I get through I will 
probably have the equivalent of 6 layers of glass (counting the glass 
I put on the inside) so I will have picked up some extra strength and 
some extra weight.
