Unexpected Problem! Rebuilding the Air Box on my Cozy MKIV Airplane

While removing the air box (an aluminum and fiberglass box that holds the engine air filter) in order to gain access to the SCAT tubing, I discovered some problems: a crack, and wear causing a hole in the fiberglass. Time to pull it off and rebuild it - doing both some fiberglass work as well as aluminum metal work.
