Problems |
|
|
This page talks about some of the problems that I enjoyed. |
|
|
|
|
This is a slight blemish that I didn't see while I was building the car. It only showed up when I wet the body while wiping some glue off. After I saw this, I started wetting every board as part of the strip selection process. |

|
|
Here are some Gaps. They didn't show until I sanded the body. They are in the part of the body where the boards take the maximum bend. I should have gone one board at a time in these areas instead of 2 or 3 boards at a time. It is almost impossible to fill cracks in Yellow Cedar without it showing. |

|
| More dis-Colored wood that didn't show up till it was wet. | |
|
|
| More Cracks | |
|
|
| More Cracks -- These basically disappeared after epoxying. | |
