	Yeah, I know, but I'm still excited for you. Paint means reassembly. Reassembly means drivability. Drivability means fun. Fun for everyone that's been following your build. But more fun for you. Tim

	Yes Tim it's getting close....just about everything is ready to be assembled....I'll need to remember to take my time and enjoy the process, as it was a long time coming... Here is the radiator date code...December of 1950 i guess.. And the fuel tank mark...The PO told me the tank had been replaced in the 70's, but I think this is an OEM mark....it's good to know my photographic skills have not improved at all... Ready for a little semi-gloss black..

	Thanks Bob, I should have know that...they don't use "I" in aircraft registration numbers for the same reason... At least it fits with the other codes I've found... T/C is 12-06-50 Front Axle is 12-14-50 I found an 11-09 on the engine...is that November 49? Or maybe I'm looking at the wrong numbers..... I left the brass tag unpainted..

	Oh Boy... very nice. This is about to get really, really fun. 'Re-assembly'. I remember standing in the garage admiring every little addition I made. Time flew by, as items were bolted up, and on. It was hard to leave the garage. Next thing I knew, it had reached 0-dark-thirty. I just couldn't seem to stop. I envy you. Tim

	I'm afraid the same thing may happen to me....8 months of preparation and the really fun part will be over in a few days.... I'll try and stretch it out...! Randy

At this stage it's big progress with minimal effort as opposed to huge effort for seemingly small gains over the past many months. Wish I was there to help!!

	Based on the drawing and specs in BobW's book, I made a block for the kick starter. It's 1/4" birch aircraft plywood.. The wiring is installed and hooked up, and the dash is looking pretty complete. The oil pressure and temp gauges are still hooked to the engine... I think it's time to set it on the frame...!
