Hey that is exactly what I am working on!

I riveted the firewall this morning and dug out the pretty gold stuff this afternoon. There is a lot to do on that one small area. I just drilled the blocks and the uprights.

Your's looks great CJ!

I am not going to get much further today and tomorrow I am going for a motorcycle ride with a friend before it gets to cold.

Is it annodized or is it made out of real gold?

Okay that's a great straight line, I know someone will pick up on it...

Thanks Guys,

John, lemme tells ya... there is ALOTTA mechanical work in this one small package! It ain't any harder than anything else, though!

Scott, for the price we pay for this stuff... it OUGHTTA BE real gold!

These costs are CHUMP CHANGE compared to the costs of engine and avionics!

Way to go Johny boy!

Let me know when you plan to order your finish kit. Maybe we can get some sort of break on the shipping if we order together.

Looks good John. I just saw one of those center sections up close last week, man are there a lot of rivets in that piece, but it really looks good.
