Brief Description: Wheelpants - A Second Try - Part 02
Fairing in those gearleg-to-wheelpant fiberglass parts is a huge amount of work, but alas it is done and came out very nice. I'm also very pleased with the front-to-back fit of both those fairings and with the wheelpant front-to-back themselves.
I also opted to make the tire cutout on the bottom of the wheelpants a full 1 inch all the way around the tire this time. On the previous set, I only went 1/2" to 5/8" and that was just too close to the tire. There is plenty of room around the tire now.
I was going to just shoot a light coat of primer on the new wheelpants, but I think I will go ahead and do a nice, heavy coat or two of gelcoat with some sanding in between to, hopefully, yield a very smooth professional finish.
