[f-AA] Long but good day

['Botijo G' via aeronca]

Today after months of searching I was able to deliver my firewall forward mockup to a gentleman that it’s going to help me with the making of the 7pcs cowling for my ‘38. The last 7 pieces!. Way far from home at 6 hours of driving but worth it!
My days of making scrap metal out of beautiful sheets of aluminum at supersonic speeds are over for now!
As an added bonus I took my original Aeronca aluminum made wheel pants and in one hour all the dents and imperfections are gone!!. Now to fix some cracks and to get them ready for paint!
More progress! Finally
Rafael

Congratulations 👏 the end is in sight hopefully.
