Today was a glorious day -- sunny and in the low to mid 70's; and better yet I had finished my drafting work and was able to glue 10" onto the chassis. The main piece is now a bit over 7 feet long, and with the 2 foot long nose piece -- it is now about 2/3 glued up!

Here's pictures -- it is sitting on its nose:



The side battery bays are complete, and the first 4" of the rear suspension bays have begun; as are the rear wheel strakes. You can see the chines on the sides more easily, as well. The 'C' pillar is mostly in place, and the main hatch opening is tapering narrower.

My 6' step ladders are not going to be useful much longer... I've got a 7' and two 8' and I can borrow my brother's 9 footer.
