Air baffle in place. Coat with epoxy.
Decks ready to seal.
Top decks taped in place.
Do this with a piece of foam, sanded to
conform to the inside of the cowling, just
at bulkhead 3.
We will be cutting air holes in the front of
the cowling, and an air exit where the
“dashboard” would be.
If we didn’t have an air dam, the air would
come in the front of the cowling, and sail
straight through to the air exit, carrying
very little heat with it. We need it
to go into the front, and go around the
bottom of the hull, before going up to the
“dashboard” and rear air exit.
Top Deck
The Bullitt deck is done in 5 pieces;
Two deck sides, two sponson decks and
one deck center.
It is important that you test fit and fully
understand how the deck fits on before
you epoxy.
All decks should already have 2 coats of
epoxy on one side. If not, get it done.
The deck halves are attached, allowed to
cure, and the center deck is attached at
the front.
The sponson decks are done last.
The cowling covers most of the open center
section.
Sand the top of the bulkheads so that the
tabs are gone, and the bulkhead has a nice
curve down to the side stringer.
Use your plane to bevel the side stringer.
Before you glue anything, lets test fit the
decks.
