Canopy Faring rework
Brought this thing to the house to get the holes filled in.
Of course looking back, I should have started over with a new one.

Moment of reflection
This is where that moment of disapointment came into play when i saw that the new canopy did not buble out as much as the one I removed. In fact, it hardly fit well at all.

Chop, Cut, Rebuild
the top of the faring was almost a half in from the glass, so, I cut at the angle and make it fit. (if it doesnt fit, force it) Right?

Tail End of Canopy Faring
The rear end needed a bit of Nip-Tuck

Found a way to bring all the pieces together nice and tight.

Forward of Canopy
Figured while the Rear end is Curing, I can re-fab the front of it as well and tie it all together.

Filling Gaps
Used the old Fiberglass to fill the gap from the old Canopy. The new Canopy did not come down as low as the old one unfortunatly.
