The console cover cut out. Now I have to figure out how to make the cuts for the slots for the brake levers and parking brake. Later there will be cutouts for the flap and trim switches as well as the brake reservoir.

Poly has been taped over the front half. This will prevent the interior layup from sticking to the front half forming the joining flange. The front and rear have been taped together in preparation for the inner layup.

The overall fit for the wheel pant is good. Need to make a hole and cutout to properly locate the wheel pant.

Removed one electric pump and the associated plumbing to greatly simplify the fuel system. The in-line filters were removed and replaced with the gascolator.

The superfluous pump and plumbing removed. In addition, I connected the flaps to the electrical power source for the main pump (not shown). This provides power to the flaps through the old pump circuit breaker path. Tested and it works fine.
