Yep, another week has gone by with no work being done.  Since Brit is in her "off season" with the kennel club, we are spending a lot of time during the week working with the dogs out at the lake or over at the school football field.  Class will start again in July, so work will pick up again soon.

Oh, my camera took a dive on me yesterday.  The sensor has gone bad, but it's a known problem so Canon is fixing it for free.  For now, I am borrowing my mom's camera, or my wife's when she doesn't have it.

Brit is out of town today (and has her camera with her), but I still only managed a short time in the garage.  I started out by trimming the "ears" on the canopy frame 702 skin.  I didn't cut them off completely, but angled them so the aft end will match up with the side skirt.  The blue area is what I cut off, and the arrows show the angle.  The canopy will fit behind the ear as it transitions from the side rail to the skin.

Then I started to work on laying out the final trims on the canopy.  I clamped and taped down the canopy plexi to get it as close as possible to where it should be after the trims are made, and began masking off the lines.

Tomorrow I hope to get the trims made, and start planning the installation with Sikaflex and screws.
