Even though you did it sleepy and withone eye open the lines look good and straight. Nice job you are getting there slowly.

I don't know about Stang but I don't think we are getting slower, we have just gotten better and better takes more time.

Wow! That's all I can say. I'd truly forgotten how time consuming and how frustrating it is to get something just right. Measure the depth of the green from this end, then that end, then the length, then the width again. Adjust it this way, then that way. No...nope, too much...wait, not enough. Oh and the bottom tip of the green star... an inch and 7/8" from the trailing edge of the wing. 8" here, 6 and 1/16th" there. Ugh... Oh and then the black star and the silver star and... oiy. Lol. Who opened up this bag of worms anyway.

Ok, venting done. Here's what I got accomplished so far. Top trim and stars, about 3 hours to put down.


I really like it so far. For once the delusions in my head are coming out in reality just as I envisioned it. Spooky... hee hee. I can't wait to see it done. Ok, let's get a sneak preview huh?




Now I've gone and done it. I just gotta see more!



Well now... I got a new fire burnin'! I'm gonna beat that end of June deadline one way or another.

Back at it Rob!! Git...

Looks done to me drop that red head in and you are ready to play.

Not quite yet Snoops... still have to sand and paint the cowl and canopy. Cover the hatch, install the beast one fity-seven, install servos... I still have a bunch to go. But not near as much today as yesterday. Lol

Thanks David. I just gotta hurry up and get it done. I wanna fly...fly...fly away. Lol.

You just need to give life the finger sometimes and do what "YOU" want. I've finally figured that out after 58 years.

I cannot blame my current situation on work. I can only blame it on my being lazy this spring and last weekend, I broke out with a case of the shingles. Let me tell you something, my friend. I have never been so miserable in all my life as I have been the last seven days. . . . . . .

Sorry to hear that David. I have had two friends come down with that and miserable does not even begin to describe the agony they went through. I hope I never have to face it myself. Hope your feeling better.
