Instrument Panel

.

The instrument panel went together pretty well also. The top picture to the left depicts all the foam pieces glued together for it before glassing. I made extensive use of masking tape to glue it together. To do this, place the two pieces to be glued on a flat surface, press them together snugly and put a piece of tape over the joint. Turn the pieces over and lift at the joint until they open like a hinge. Put your 5-minute epoxy into the joint then close the hinge. The excess epoxy will squish out and you can scrape that off. I often then tape the other side to make a smooth joint. Pull the tape off when the epoxy is cured and you'll have a smooth, well-filled joint.
