Locost 11 R1

Here is where the build logs go for non-traditional build logs. Mid-engine, three wheelers, you name it. If it's not your typical Locost it goes here.

Nose is trimmed and reinstalled. Came out great.
Ready for body work. :ack:

Also got started on the rear. Trimmed away all the glass and foam from the fender work and will add the flange's.
Photos are from the right and the left to see what needed to be trimmed away.

Cuts made on the rear left side. To make it fit the lines.
Top glass on and next will be a light grind down on the inside and some more glass.

All that fiberglass work has me reliving both the 11 and the Europa. Itching for days and days.
