The weekend prior Mel and I worked on the rear enclosure. I spent some time spreading seam sealer on the tubs and getting all of the joints packed. This is messy stuff.

We also made up some flanges to rivet to the tubs to carry the bottom of the front enclosure panel.

We made these out of .090 aluminum sheet. Bent them up on the 3 n 1 and ran them thru the stretcher dies to make the curve.
