See? That's what makes you my idol, Jim. It's the details like that! Didn't know that about the 70 trunk latch and yes, mine was painted. Did they use a different hook or something? Wonder why the change. I have that factory diagram about the cowl blackout, and mine had it from what I can tell by the sleuthing I did. Any idea when it stopped being done on the cowl?
Engine bay painted! Might do the door jambs tomorrow but I'm on call the next three days, then out to Taylorsville, IL to get my Flight Instructor rating reinstated. Been trying to do this for almost a year and the latest fiasco was this stupid cough. But so far it's a go! Plus, I need another gallon of FC7 and the paint shop was closed today.
More to come!
Cheers

Dave
