I've really enjoyed following your restoration here and it's great to see all the little details that you make sure are correct. Thanks for sharing with us.

So, after much dileberation, researchification, and defecation, I realized my franzamatog was installed topwise and needed to be counterboreafied....seeing how this is a delecate operation, I pulled out the smaller, more precise tools.....

And then a bump of a key and she's alive!!!!!

Hear that? That's the sound of a Mopar starter turning over a fourhundred and forty cubic inches of Dodge Muscle!!!! Will it start? Beats me. But sure sounds good cranking!!!!


Of course, there's only one thing to do in a time like this....pose....and strut!
: cool2:

Cheers

A few more miscellaneous details. Here's a good shot of the screw caps on the tail panel, and I just pulled the steering wheel and brushed the spokes. I need to repair the typical crack at 12 O'Clock that every steering wheel gets from the 60s. I'm repairing the hood as we speak, and the glas goes in next month!

So close, so close.

BTW, which routes do you fly normally just in case we cross paths.

Great day!!
Flying the front seat of the big plane has to be a thrill. Getting to see the world out in front of you.
