Now that´s much better. Thanks. Looking real good just beware off that nasty sinkmark you got there.
If you have any Gunze Mr surfacer at your table, just set a drop over the sinkmark and before this is dry use some nail polish remover to smooth it off.

Cheers
Larsa

Dear Ms. Terri , Its Gremlins in the machine. Eyegore is better at beating them back. They are afraid of him.

Nah, we are getting there (photo wise).
You will learn a lot from the mistakes that get made with this camera.

Great work on the frame Terri.

Cheers,

Hugh

Terri,
The engine and frame are looking great. It appears the the frame at the rear is a little taller on the side that isn't straight. A little trimming and reattachment of the top frame and everything should be fine!

Hello,
Just a couple of dumb questions from an observer.
1. Shouldn't there be lozenge fabric behind the frame work?
2. Will the .030" styrene rod framework interfere with the misc. kit parts such as the floor, the dash?
Best Regards,

The lozenge fabric was attached to just the inside of the seat backs. In 1918 the seat cushion was a parachute pack.
