[Functional Artist]

Should "go" about here
...checkin' the "fit"

The "opening" seems ta "line up"
...about where we need it ta be

Seems like we need ta do a bit more trimmin'

Back to/on the mold
...& took ~1" off of the bottom edges

 

[Functional Artist]

After makin' sure of the "fit" of the first "tunnel"
...I did some adjustin' on the "cut out lines"
...then, went ahead & cut out the second "tunnel"

...& then, there were (2)
* Custom shaped ta "hug" the sides of the monocoque

Flipper 'er over (right side up)
...double checked the "fit"
...& worked on/thinkin' about how ta do, the connectin' duct work

...& then, there were (2)
...AKA "Duals"

 

[Functional Artist]

Made sure the front roll bar still mounts properly
...& "clears" the "tunnel"

Yup, looks good!

CAD duct work

Looks like the "piece(s)" we would need are ~10" - 12" long

...& ~4 1/2" at the widest part

I'ma thinkin' that the "tunnel" molds may be useful for makin' these "pieces"

Yup, looks like we can get a ~10" - 12" piece off of it

Even the narrowest part of the mold is ~4 1/2"
...& there are still already coated with PVA

So, yea! I ain't gotta make more molds

 

[Functional Artist]

Also, made sure the outer sides of the "tunnels"
...would align with the outer body panels/sides

Another view

Also, cut some FG cloth, for the next procedure

 

[Functional Artist]

Layed down (3) layers of 1708 (mainly left-over/scrap pieces)

Another view

Popped 'em off

Looks like this (inside)

Workin' on fittin' 'em on
...maybe something like this
