Now so my window ledge has a nice clean edge I'm using my wood window templates as molds.
First thing I did was ran a 1/4 x 3/4 piece or weather strip around the wood. This will give me some wiggle room as
it will be needed for finish cloth and body work later on.
Next I wrapped the part in regular wax paper..
Than began to pre-cut my chop that will run around the mold
I simply wet the chop out...
Allowed it time to dry...
Cut off the excess..

It's as build like a Magnum Hull! and we did have the race on video, just that the video was shot from under uyour seat when the camera broke free from the mount. lol
The front window frame was started the same as the two side.. I'll use light weight core, filler and some chopped matt to fill the
areas in between and body work them in. This area is nothing more than cosmetic but will add some strength to the side support
pillars in case of a stuff or hit.

Step 35,745,415.....
I used chop to in-bed the core to the canopy lip.. this core will be used to "build out" the canopy
giving the window a ledge
Once it dried I used a DA to start shaping the balsa. Its important to take your time
and not just grab a 24G disc to finish in a hurry.. I used a 80G to make sure I did not rip any
pieces of balsa off.
This is only a rough shape, I will be using some light weight filler in the gaps and to finish the
shaping.
Everything was than wet out with a generous amount of resin.
