Finished Painting - Canopy Frame and Tank







Finished painting and clear coating the fuel tank and finished the canopy frame by painting the front bow. The front bow now matches the instrument panel (flat gray) color. It is amazing how the stone finish now appears on the tank. The fuel tank sealant mess has just about disappeared.

Fabricated the canopy lift handles and the canopy guide blocks in advance of needing them. Used the 6" scotchbrite wheel to round the edges of the guide blocks.
