Had a few hours and decided to rough out the decklid skin. Interesting piece that was harder than I though it would be. The contour is different top to bottom quite a bit.

Wheel work in the center and some shrinking along the edge. More at the top than the bottom. It easily passes Kent White's 'two finger' test. That is, with very little pressure it lays down as it should.


I'll shift gears and get the inner structure finished and the hinges working. In order to get the gaps set correctly at 1/8", I'll need a 3/16 gap to the opening and I'll need a rigid location in order to do that. Then I'll do the final shaping on the skin and start the wrap.
