The Remainder of January 2005

Note from Web Page Designer: I have gotten far behind on updating, and as of now, have "lost" the week count, so the next few months will be updated by the month. Sorry for the delay!

Weekend #?? Started with the last coats of silver, then finished the weekend off with the fun part — two coats of base color. (Hope it all still fits!)

Back for some assembly and final fit checks before moving the tail feathers to a secure undisclosed location, then it was onto other things. I really hated to take the front deck off, but it was only temporary.

Rest of January: Added two fender washers.

Work returns to the front end. I finished the hatch hinge, cut out the bulk-head and painted the windshield. Then I clecoed it all back together for the pictures. It will be some time before it all gets closed for good.
