Brief Description:  02 - Upper baggage compartment door

Upper baggage compartment door

After careful trimming, I traced around the door and doubler patterns onto sheet 0.032" 2024-T3 ally. I rough cut the ally to shape with tin snips and used the die grinder to fine shape the door before polishing the edges. The door will be used to shape the hole in the turtle deck, so it's edges need to be spot on. The doubler doesn't need to be so perfect because the outer edge is concealed in the baggage compartment and the inner edge will eventually be trimmed to match the exact shape of the door cutout. Once the door was finished, I drilled it in three places according to the piano hinge gap spacing and match drilled to the turtle deck. Then I was ready to remove the doubler, cleco the door and trace around it in place, then rough cut the turtle deck hole to suit.
