Rehab Project Update-'79 FC 33'

[Gardner Yeaw]

Bruce,
When you say 'Forward roof shroud' are you referring to the AC
cover? I used fiberglass cloth and resin to fix mine up. They were
cracked around the fastening bolts and broken along the rear lower
side. I just roughed up the interior surface and applied the cloth
and resin. I also used a wooden dowel wraped in fiberglass to
reinforce the thin lower part at the rear.
