Removing the decal wasn't easy.

Some of the Rivets were falling off (I will be reattaching the rivets back onto the case)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/THRASHER2/Corsair%20900D%20WWII%20Bombs%20Away/Bombtailend.jpg

Here I will be cutting a piece of 3/16" Steel plate for the top of the case.

The 3/16" Steel plate will fit like a glove after I do some measuring and small cuts.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/THRASHER2/Corsair%20900D%20WWII%20Bombs%20Away/Topmetalpiece.jpg

Next step is to get a template going for the Quad Rad grill for the top of the case.

I found the greatest PROP for this Project

After getting the front panel cut by a friends shop I started cleaning up the cuts and edges.

I was trying to finger out how to level out the front panel for the 3/16 metal piece.

It came to me! I can use some green acrylic panels for the sides I had laying around the Mod Garage.

I went to the local homedepot to try to find the rivets that were already used on the Bomber before and this is the closest I found.

I will use these bolts to hold the Front Metal Panel to the front of the case.
