Spent a couple hours in a cloud of fiberglass dust today. Cut the other three fenders and got most of the steel stand-offs installed. Test-mounted the wires again for fit. They just about do.

Now it’s down to glass. Hoping to have some warm days before the cold sets in. I’d like to get them glassed up, ground back and cured for a few…[Read more]
