Lift struts have been a challenge, but they are finally done. Does everything take three times longer than expected?
The great news is that the wings can be permanently attached! Just have to let them cure for a week, especially in the colder weather. Paint booth is heated to 65 deg.

Wheel pants will be the next challenge as were in uncharted territory with the Grove gear and Beringer wheel/brake setup. I will have to make a custom aluminum plate to attach the pants. My original "wheel pants kit" was for the stock tube gear. Not much use except for some of the hardware. I'm thinking about a retro fin on the wheel pant to match the new rudder profile. Not as big as the 1959 Cadilac, but maybe like the 1963! Might be a foot hazard though. Lol.
Anyone with some pic's of how they did theirs would be appreciated.
