Completed The Wheel Pant Repair

Today I completed the repair of the nose wheel pant.  I laid out and cut the opening for the tire.  I enlarged the opening to the rear so I would not have a repeat of the earlier problem.  I sanded the fiberglass resin and then applied some body filler over the voids.  I sanded the body filler and the pant is now ready for paint.  I left a message for and then texted Dave Wissinger to let him know it is ready to be painted.  Dave is heading out of town today and will be back this weekend.  I told him I would get the pant to him on Monday and he said he would get it painted.  What more can I ask for?  I will put the pant back on the airplane and go flying.  I will remove it and take it to Dave on Monday.
