Progress!

I spent most of today painting, painting, and painting!

The engine is finished and is looking very good. The firewall is nearly finished but will require a long-handled brush to finish.

Cylinders and engine block painted Lycoming Gray
All inspection covers, wing root covers, cowling, and interior tubes have been repainted and look very good.
Interior tubes painted flat black

The cowling was in terrible shape before, it's not perfect, but it's better now.
The aileron hinge bolt was replaced (was bent), all control pulleys lubed with A/C lubricant.
The propeller was refinished in flat black with white tips in accordance with Sensenich guidance and AC 20-37E.
The windscreen should be formed early this week. Hopefully we can install it, get all the old screws replaced, and get the bird signed off and flying by next weekend!
