Here are some pics from last week's progress...I'm a little behind posting these. The next step in the instructions is mounting the wings. Since that will take two or three helpers and some rearranging in the shop I am putting this off for now until I can coordinate this. So, you'll notice I am out of sequence on most of these upcoming items. Shouldn't be a problem as they really aren't inter-related to each other at this point.
Doing the layout for the canopy frame. I came up with this as my spacing of rivets for the outer flange. Yours may vary depending on your starting/ending points...so don't just copy my figure without doing your calculations.
Match drilled in place...looking good. Although, at this point I realized that my inner strap came from the factory too short. d'oh! So, I will put this effort on pause while I contact Van's and get the right one ordered.
Getting my center panel ready for priming. Bent the heater louvers as instructed...kind of a pain, luckily its not very thick material.
I almost forgot, I had to add a cutout to my false floor panel for my fuel tank vents. I match drilled these from the bottom skin...sure doesn't look like it does it?? Kinda off for some reason? Oh well, you'll never see it when the carpet is installed later.
