Brief Description:  Stainless Steel Cooling Ramp Mod #4

I finished the actual colling ramp..kinda. I drilled, deburred, dimpled and smoothed the entire ramp after cutting down the wing sides. I still have some supports ribs to put between the floor and the cooling ramp to dampen any vibration. As well as the side rivet holes that will hold the side wings in place. I also might remake the entire ramp. :)

There is s slight gap (1/16") on the aft portion of the ramp to bottom skin join (on the left side) as the ramp got canted ever so slightly. The oil and smoke will most likely be traveling along the cooling ramp path and I don't want it to find it's way into the the cabin thru an easy entry point. Besides, I have the materials - and it will definately be easier building it the second time... we will see.
