Hey Guys,

As the firewall re-populating continues I’m migrating to wiring up the engine components inside the GIB headrest and finishing up plumbing/wiring inside the hellhole. 

With the constant rain and wind, due to the Nor’easter currently hitting us, I have the wings inside the shop.  This doesn’t allow for any space right now to do any welding on the rollbar before final paint on that before it, and in turn the canopy, get installed.

As for painting, I am currently working on the black accent stripes on the winglets, with the white wing paint next up on the docket.  Also I’ll finalize the surface finish and get some paint on the lower cowling as well.

Perfect is the enemy of good enough” is still my thinking regarding paint. 

In between the paint jobs, I will continue to work on getting components installed and wiring knocked out inside the bird.
