More rough strip planking. I got to get better at this. Using a taper jig on my Byrnes table saw to get caught up on the longer side of my strip planking project.

Do you plan to cover the boot cowl with aluminum? If so I don't think you need to fully sheet the area, just a few stringers. That's what I did on the Champ and it has worked well.

Yes on aluminum, had the stringers only originally but plans were calling for 1/4" across.

More thinking than building today. Did get some preliminary front seat foot pedal work in.

Making somewhat scale parts today. Not going to get too crazy though.

Cutting, milling, tapping, sanding........
