1/30: Ice day in Dallas today but getting a little a little work done in the very cold garage. Final fit the right tip lens and drilled and installed the nut plates. Then taped off the lens and applied a first coat of micro to the edge.

1/31: Sanded out the micro. Will need a second coat.

2/1: Re-masked the lens and applied second coat of micro. Sanded out. Removed masking from lens and check fit - looks pretty good, but as expected the fiberglass is a little high due to the thickness of the tape. Trial fit and sanded a little more to get it smooth.

2/2: still ice days so getting a little done while working from home. Happy with the fit of the right lens, cut the paint gap using the pull saw. Had just a couple spots that were not even so touched up with a little glazing putty. Looking at the unmasked lens, I had a few scratches from saw and from sanding operations. I had previously ordered a micromesh polish kit and went to work on the scratches. Started by sanding them out with 600 grit normal paper and then worked through the micromesh pads and eventually to the polishing compound. Came out pretty good. The big scratches are out at least; I'll probably touch it all up later when final assembling. A long time between now and then to pick some additional small scratches in the lenses. Happy with the right lens, I took some micromesh to the left lens too and addressed the few scratches I picked up in that one too. I wrapped both lenses in protective blue tape and will set them aside.
