Working on the right door
I did the right door initial trim after gluing, and am very pleased with how it matches the contour of the cabin top.
Now that the door fit well *on* the cabin top, it was time to trim it to make it sit *in* the cabin top. I got it to fit reasonably well, so then it was time to attach the hinges. Kelly got a couple shots of me doing that.
Once the door fit well enough to shut completely, I installed the latch mechanism. No pics of me building it, but here’s what it looks like installed.
Note the exterior handle is missing. We’ll do that later.
Here’s a picture of the worst fitting part of either door. On the aft side of the right door, the door sits as much as 3/32″ above the canopy top in one place. We’ll definitely need some epoxy/micro to make that look decent.
