Mike welcome aboard! Thanks for posting that site, I hadn't seen it before and their are some great photos that I'm sure will be of value to many of us as references.

No photos tonight but I will give you a progress report. My wheel pants brackets arrived this evening. Sometimes the best laid plans just don't pan out. I'm back to the drawing board to come up with some other method of attatchment that will work. Tomorrow is another day and I'll sort it out then. So turning back to the fuse the news here is good. Progress is slow but I think it's coming out pretty well. It just a matter of fill / sand / fill / sand....you get the point. I hope to get the fuse ready for it's second coat of primer this weekend. My thoughts are to get the tail covered in Solartex then start on the panel lines and rivets.

Dave, I tucked a DLE-20 under the cowl. Took a bit of heat for it's selectionin the first few posts of this thread.
