| Dad is away for the next week so progress might slow a little and I'm going to take it easy generally. | |
| Today however was good and warm (30C in the shed, warmer outside - not bad for the first week in Nov), so I continued with the backing strips for the rear window. | 
|
| The shape of the strips isn't quite as obvious as first apears. The 1/8" thickness of the plexi-glass makes the shape harder. I ended up making an 'oversize' strip which I then trimmed progressively back. | 
|
| This is the RHS after drilling (I used #36 again). | 
|
| Then using washers / spacers I roughed a 'upper' edge for trimming. | 
|
| The LHS was easier with a template available. | 
|
| After lots of trimming, sanding, scotchbriting both sides were completed and ready for priming / spraying. You can see the difference in shape between the skin edge and spreader. |
