Talked with Tom Swearengen at TS Flightlines and ordered a flexible fuel hose for the connetion from the fuel pump to the firewall. Talked with Stein at SteinAir and gave the go-ahead for the instrument panel (8 months lead time). Riveted up the sub panel assembly and then painted it light machine gray. Got a lot of lint in it from the towel used for wipedown, will try again. Riveted nutplates to wiring channel.
