Still more baffle trimming
I thought I was done with the baffle trimming a few weeks back, but I forgot about the ramps. I did several iterations of installing the top cowl, marking the baffles, removing the baffles, trimming on the band saw, and re-installing the baffles. The ramp extensions I made are working perfectly. I’ll probably add a few more strips of fiberglass along the exposed forward edges just to beef them up a bit.
The cowl is now to the point where it sits in the correct position again. I still need to trim a bit more to get a 3/8-1/2″ gap. Just a few more work sessions and I think I’ll have the baffles mostly done. I don’t know if it’s the nice weather we’ve been having or the prospect of moving past the baffles, but I’ve been enjoying the project more lately. It was getting to be quite a grind for the past month or so. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to put in any time for the next few days. And then I’ll really be driving hard to finish it up.
