FM82 Offroad Teardrop Build

[Septu]

Man SoCal sucks, no rain 80 degrees, riding my bike today. Now add, illegal aliens, pot holes, gang bangers and idiots on the freeway, give me good old Omaha Nebraska!!!! Just joking, moved from that frozen wind hole 50 years ago. Here till I die I am sure. Would love to be in Utah, I truly love that state from every aspect.

80... Jesus... we barely see that in the summer!

Starting the process of skinning the inner fender wells. Sheet metal was frustrating me too bad, so I went to something I know well....fiberglass. So far its just covered in 1/4" birch.

Got the corners glassed. Just have to finish them out.

Glassing is done. All they need now is a little undercoating.

Cool man... You've gotten more done than I have. I'm still siliconing screw holes, to get it ready for paint. I had to kinda slow down a bit on my build, my wife has started feeling neglected, so I have been trying to focus on her here lately to smooth things out...
Keep up with the progress... Cheers

Yeah I know what you mean, dc. Easy to get sucked into projects like this. Between all of that rain that came through and my wasted hours of trying to skin these wells with sheet metal, my progress has been at a snail's pace. I'm back on track now though, so more pics to come...hopefully.
