I continued working on getting a snug fit for the rear window. I got out of sync with the manual construction steps and installed some brackets on the roll over bar that now interfered with the forward lower corners of the window. I marked and notched the corners to allow the window to fit over the clips.

Today warmed up nicely with no wind. Perfect for painting. I set up the saw horses on the driveway and shot the Stewart Systems Dawn Patrol Gray EcoCrylic paint on the inside of the canopy frame.

I worked on getting the canopy frame assembled as far as possible and prepped it for painting. Tomorrow is supposed to be warm so it will be a good time to get the paint on.

Another RV-14 builder in my area visited my project a couple times and is making great progress on his project. He inspired me to get out to the garage. While the weather is still warm I decided I should tackle the plexiglass and get some painting done.

I centered up the rear window, clamped it in place and marked the cut out notch at the back where it fits around the top brace. I used the dremel to make and smooth the cut.
