It's New Years Eve. I began this project on March 26 at purchase. Work actually started in April. Today - all but the Upper left Wing is now covered and in Eko Fill. Now two of the already Eko Filled Wings need White Eko Filler application and Paint. The third Wing has two coats of Urethane Lemon Yellow applied but must now be sanded down in prep for the final coat of Yellow and any trim paint I decide to apply - as well. I'll wait until the last Wing is finished, covered, and Eko Filled before I do the White Fill coats on the two lower Wings then shoot all 4 in Yellow in the same time frame. Last coat on the one and first two coats on the other three followed by sanding and final coat and trim on them. Will need to wait for better temps in the shop to do that kind of painting and I will also need to bring my PVC pipe paint booth into the garage and set it up for the job too. Too much over spary if I don't and I have large filters in the paint booth too.
At that time I will also sand the sides and top of the Fuse, tape over the trim "swipes" and reshoot the last final coat of Lemon Yellow on the Fuse. The bottom was done before I removed the rotary stand for the fuse.
The is a lot more to do (the BIG spending jobs) - Instruments, Radio and Transponder & GPS (if I buy and install one it wll be a portable) Then the FireWallForward. I'm still planning to use a Corvair and believe I will buy a Aeromax "Kit" with their Intergral front Bearing, swaping in my Core to save a few $'s. They told me they will also build me a Motor Mount to fit the Celebrity specifications at the same time. After all that - it's to an Airport and assemble. Still loads to do here.
