Fastback 54


I’m very sick of sanding and fiberglass work. I’m ready for a new challenge. Sigh.

Here is the flox fairing after the second application. As you can see I was able to build it up a good distance from the previous session. The tape mold worked nicely.

The first step was to sand everything down and even. The left side has a slightly different geometry than the right, and doesn’t result in quite such a smooth line.

I also continued my taping and have both the interior and exterior taped. One more layer and then I will add plastic to both sides for protection. This should allow me to prime, bond, et al without risk.
