Welded the end plate on the tail today and smoothed out some of the clumps on the right side.
I cut the shapes with a plasma cutter and smoothed/final fit with 90 degree die grinder with a 2 inch 36 grit roloc pad( don't look too close at the left one
). The center hole is just big enough to fit my arm in for plugging in the lights and tightening the nuts on the light assemblies.
All together and now I can start smoothing/shaping from rear to front. Hopefully doing some tomorrow between raindrops
.
