Brief Description:  Wheel pants and fairing finish work

I decided rather try to figure out how to mount my lower gear intersection fairings to the wheel pant and somehow make it removeable, I went with the Vans method of splitting it down the center line of the wheel pant seam and bonding both halves to the fore and aft wheel pants there by making the fairing part of the wheel pants.
-Put the wheel pants on along with the fairing
-Maked the seam on the fairing
-Drilled holes and cleco'd to the wheel pant so when I cut the fairing into pieces I know where it goes and it will be supported.
-Removed the fairing and cut it with a dremel - I hate doing this as these fairing are made from scratch and came out pretty good.
-Cleco'd the pieces back onto the wheel pant that is still on the airplane and micro'd it into place.

Lots of sanding later it should be pretty cool.

I'll fill the cleco holes later.
