  Gear Leg Fairings for a Waco Standard Cabin


Above: These are gear leg fairings for a Waco Standard Cabin. Made from .050 3003 aluminum, the original dented one is on the left, and the new copy made from it is on the right. The Little Powerhouse roughed, shrunk and planished the new one to a perfect fit in a few hours. A body and paint man said "no bondo, just sand, prime, sand and paint."

 

Left: The new one is on the right. The finish is right off the hammer, no sanding or filing.

 


 

 

Photos below: Gearleg fairings on a Waco Custom Cabin, 2dr. All roughing, planishing and fitting was done with the Little Power Shaping Hammer. These fairings were also digitally filmed during their construction, (along with several others) for our new instructional Film, Those Doggoned Reverses .
