Well, Friday I spent five hours mixing epoxy and laying fiber glass cloth on the plug I spent so many hours on the past few weeks. Today (Saturday) I started remove phase two from the plug! Wow, not easy, the area around the intake tube was tuffest and as you can see from my pictures, I totally destroyed the very expensive plug! But! Look how nice my new lower cowling mold that was created came out! It is funny, now I can complete phase three! Actually make the bottom cowling for Big Toot! This task will now be much easier than phase 1and 2. I also will build another jig to support the new lower cowling mold! AND, I can make future cowlings for you guys wanting to build Big Toot someday! Plans and parts will be made available! Enjoy my happiness with these pictures!
