Working on top battery coversTimer icon1h

Continuing working on the battery boxes.

The top battery covers will be screwed to angles riveted to the ribs. Not sure how useful those screws will be once top skin is installed -- it is very possible that I won't be able to remove the covers anyway. But should help if I need to add some spacers to these panels to make batteries to fit -- in case I made boxes too tight.

I don't have a photo, but there will be two angles attached to these top covers to contain the batteries.

Priming the parts.

Everything is primed
