Door Skins
I started making the left door skin jig tonight. This is a picture of the first attempt. I inset strips of metal around the perimeter to help make accurate straight bends.

Gear leg fairings
This past weekend I spent several hours on getting a lot of the fairings ready to paint. I fitted the right gear leg fairings. This was very time consuming but worthwhile. Gear fairing are a mix of old and new. The original lower fairings were in great shape minus a few cracks needing to be welded. Prep, paint and install. Photos to follow.
