SLATS ALL FOLKS

January 14, 2019

I got the grill back from Bob today with the slats all sorted. It looks great, but it took a lot of fettling to get it to fit right. All I need to do is remove it and do the final painting & polishing, and then reinstall it. Unfortunately, we lost one of the new flats along the way, so I'll have to find a suitable substitute.

With this done I can now get back to work reassembling the front end, which I now think I will do before finishing the exhaust system installation. Of course, I still awaiting the fuel tank, but given the extent of immediate work I'm facing, I can certainly wait a few weeks for that to come back.


In the meantime...
If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there.

DRAINED

I've been a bit negligent in posting lately, mostly because I've been tied up on other projects. Be assured though, that Johnny is doing well, except for a minor battery drain issue we traced to the refurbished Becker radio. The radio was sent back to Becker (unfortunately out of warranty) for refurbishment yet again and should be here early this week. I'm still in search of a pristine dash to replace the slightly cracked one; however, it's not a priority. Sometimes I consider the cracks "patina," and other times they just annoy the hell out of me. Below is my good friend and fellow UAL pilot Joe Hayes posing for a glam shot in the driver's seat.
