just a quick update on my rebuild status:
Started installing the factory enclosure with Daffy's help and bottomless pot of coffee. Began with rebuilding some of the attachment hardware to beef it up a bit, but after a lot of tongue in cheek adjusting, the back part looks pretty good. Had to move the drag wires closer to the wheels to get around the pod, and will have to shave some material off the aileron bellcrank under the seat to have it clear the pod, but man does it look sweet! Most amount of time so far has been sanding and painting the nose of the pod (not shown still being painted) and the wheel pant repairs to fix up all the cracks and chips.
The camera is fixed now so I'll post more pics as we go along. I'm hoping that there will be enough room in the nose part to move the rudder pedals in front of the curly fuse tubes at the front to give me more leg room. note the bend in the stick I had to make to increase 'ballroom' specs
