I think using overhead transparencies makes it much easier. Also, I pull the carb off the engine, so I only have to deal with one thing at a time (the head, then mount the engine, then cut out the carb, then muffler) Although, in this case, I won't need any carb cutouts, other than for needle valve adjustment.

Yes, the wing has black stripes on the bottom, but you have to put them on yourself. They are included with the decal package. They aren't decals per-say, more like black vinyl, cut in strips.

I don't know if I'll get any more done until later next week, what with Christmas and all.
