What is an easy way to mark the line 3/32" forward of the forward bow of the slider for the big cut? I've tried it a couple different ways but I'm not happy with the results.
Put a flashlight inside the cockpit pointing up between the roll bar and canopy bow. I placed a wide piece of masking tape over the area to be marked (basically covering the bow and roll bar on the outside of the canopy). Then I had my daughter reach in with a thin piece of cardboard and slide in slowly between the gap. This showed up as a thin black line projected on the tape from the inside. I simply and carefully marked a thin line with a marker along this projection as she slid from one side to the other. I didn't bother or care about it being 3/32 beyond the roll bar as it is all covered up with glass work later on.
i used a dremel tool with reinforced cutoff wheel and it was like cutting butter with about 1/16" gap left between the two halves. Because it cuts like butter go slow and be very careful!

Would have thought that if you could build the U-2 and SR-71 that you could figure this out.![]()
I laughed out loud![]()
