Brief Description:  Canopy cutting and sanding #15 - done w/cuts

I cut another perimeter off the bottom of the canopy (sanded it, of course) and loaded it up on the frame and it looks really good. I am going to call it done for at least the main part of the canopy - I may need to do some further cutting on the aft portion around the back as the geometry changes and the canopy sits on top of the aft end of the frame.

I also did a vertical cut on both sides of the forward part of the canopy and smoothed it with sanding. I have decided to get the canopy frame, canopy rails, windscreen bow and the front seatback support powder coated in gray to match the interior color. I consulted with Teresa and she agreed that powder coating them was the right choice. So, next I will start pulling those pieces off to send them to the powder coater as I can't glue the canopy to the frame until it's back.
