thx it seems like I am, I did this side all in one piece, besides 2 pieces like the other side, I did the 6" strip of biax over the bond line at the same time 2, got this side glassed twice as fast, if I had to do it all over again I would have reinforced the inside while I had the exhaust tube out, that was real pita glassing under it, im not looking forward to glassing around the motor mounts and all the other mounting locations. but oh well gots to get done.
