Door latch guard, paint planning

We created two U-shaped guards for the door latches out of thin stainless steel.  To bend the metal precisely, we created a jig made of wood, and pushed the metal into a channel with a metal bar to create the U-shape.  This worked well.  Below is a picture where we were testing the jig with a piece of aluminum first.

We also spent some time planning on how we are going to paint the cowling, and where exactly we will place the from white to orange.  Hours: 8
