Dave Dole's Journal

A little over a week since posting the pic of the body frame. Now have the entire body sheathed in clear pine, wood strips. Glue and staples hold the pieces together until glue sets. Then pull the staples (1170 in my case) and start sanding. Did not care for the seam between the dash riser and the hood, so some added wood putty. That came out well enough that am now building up a filet behind seat back and top of trunk. Once that is completed I'll be ready to order the epoxy, hardener, and fiberglass cloth. The black lines indicate where the body will be cut once glassed for the lift out hood, and hinged trunk. The body is wider than many build, but still within limits and I can get in and out without assistance. You know how it is with us old, fat, guys, right?
