"The plaster coating over the foam core for the cowling plug."

"Parting the fiberglass matte mold from the foam and plaster plug."

"For two guys who didn't know what they were doing, we made out pretty good."

"This rotisserie rig was a big help. From sandblasting to finish painting, it was well worth it."

"These are all the parts of the strut end, ready to assemble. The bushing is welded to the sheet steel triangular-shaped piece and inserted into the end of the streamlined tube."

"The whole mess assembled in the jig."

"The whole mess removed from the jig after tack welding."

"Then it is heated red-hot, tapped into shape with a hammer, and welded."

"A finger-strap is welded overtop of the whole thing. It looks pretty slick when it's all done."
