Brief Description:  Canopy cutting and sanding #4a

Lots more cutting and sanding today. I feel like the front of the canopy is right where it is supposed to be, and the fit is right, almost touching the front windscreen support. I was thinking that the front and back would sync together and be right on when the cutting was done. However, the aft end of the canopy frame is very close to the canopy but the sides are still about 1 1/2" away from the canopy frame near the rear passengers shoulder area. I know that the canopy gets clamped to the frame in the final fitting so I will think on that and review the next steps. I know I am close to needing to make the "big cut" to separate the front/windscreen from the aft/canopy. I am feeling like I should stop cutting the front until after the big cut is done and then just sand to fit to the final geometry. I do need to raise the tape again to see where the canopy is sitting because I will also need to cut the sides soon.
