Re: NE FL FS18

Next step will be the glass layup. 8O F68C2C14-4128-4CBC-86B9-A8602C442892.jpeg 36895822-76FD-4DBE-8F...

Re: NE FL FS18
Thanks, Richard and thanks for your great FS18. Your Bare Bones thread is one of a few that I have been through, let’s say, more than few times. :D It’s hard to hide good craftsmanship.
