Re: [COUPERS-TECH] Project Now At Homebase

AL-you might reconsider using some used sheet metal parts.ERCO, was a mfg of machine tools & they did use machine drilling/riviting processes. A friend installed a used tail cone(at frameF) & he said ALL ritit holes lined up. I also, encountered what I took as guide pins when I seperated skins at frame F to install seat belt attachments. Another friend installed a used wing spar cap strip without any problems. Thanks for sharing your coupe rebuilding progress with the group. TED.

He has over 30 Coupes, so I suspect he could come up with a couple pretty good ones. He also seems to be fair and not charge an arm and a leg for good parts.
