It has been awhile since I have uploaded some new ones, so here ya go:

Here is my left wing with most of the top rivets installed and very few clecos remaining.

...and Thermos doing a little bit of priming in my spray booth!

Hey! Careful! That thing is LOADED!!!

Here is a reflection of Wicked Stick and me in my recently riveted left wing.

I have just finished the internals of the right tank tonight so soon (maybe tomorrow) I will be onto the baffle! Wicked Stick is scheduled to come by in the morning.

I still need to doop up the vent and vapor return lines, but that is easy to do.

Whatcha think?

OH, and I am particularly proud of this hand fabbed fuel pick up!

I bedded it down nicely in some proseal and arranged it to still allow water to make it to the drain!

NICE WORK CJ!!! ...looks like it might even fly!

Hey if you need any new filters for your mask let me know. I have access to the 3M Corporate Company store here in St. Paul. Sometimes they have 'em and sometimes they don't. I buy things like 300 sheets of cloth backed 320 grit sandpaper for $3. (last week)

PS - Are you still feeding your pouch aluminum shavings? I can't get mine to try it!

so john, by the looks of your pickup tube you won't be having a flop tube to keep fuel flowing while upside down? Is that correct? or am I seeing it wrong?

Smitty, Looks great!

PK, the flop tube is in the left tank. All my "unusual attitude" stuff will be done on that tank.

Thermos -

Sorry I've been traveling... I'll check the store this week and see what they have for filters... It's a bit hit and miss with the cool stuff but if they're not there, they will be sooner or later.
