I must like punishing myself

[billythekid]

well today was the day. got home early and decided to pop it. It was a little husky and sharp getting it up. I called in some friends that were local to help me flip it . once I got it flipped, I cut all the trimmings off with the diamond trimmer and gut the rest of the depth with the jig saw.





hatches fit really nice




here is how I got the plugs out of the hatch openings, I cut the middle out and pryed and wedged it from there. never pry on the edge as you can do damage.









here is how I cut the flange for the hatch openings, I ripped a piece of scrap up and radiused the edge for the inside



after that I took air trimmer and cut








after the last of the trimming it was time











have to trim the gas tank sending unit cover down and everything will fit.





I am waiting on a bucket of arjay technologies 1721 bedding compound. to bond the deck to the stringers.
