    Nice work, once I got settled into retirement I can no longer figure out how I ever found time to have a job! Enjoy your well deserved retirement and some real time to get back on your project!

    Let me know if you need another pair of hands, Steve. Mine are aren't as nimble as they used to be, but they can hold things in place while skilled work is being done. LOL.


    I patched the fiberglass on the inside of the hood...

    Then I recreated the scoop forms from a 5 gallon bucket and an old plastic planter that used to hold a redwood.

    After glassing in the deeper scoops on the inside and filling the holes on the outside, I got down to sanding.

    It's getting there!!
