yesterday i prepared everything and got the cap ready so today all i had to do was make the polyester-fiberglass edges, and paint and it would be done!

but that was verry optimistic, i spent this entire hot sunday in a white overall with cap, gloves, goggles and gasmask sanding and grinding the polyester.
though it went better than last time, the result still wasn't perfect and i had to cut out awhole lot of it that was a bit loose or filled with airbubbles.
but this time i bought polyester body filler! small cans to do touch ups on cars, but i ran out of it and it was getting late so it will be for tomorrow if i get the time.



i did drove it to home and back with the cap on and the flaps open, and visibility is great! the flaps are connected to each other, and i installed a windchield wiper mechanism in it, but still need to connect it to the flaps.



stay tuned!
