Default Finish the Phoenix

I have to get this VI finished. There are more in the attic, but I have carried this one around for 30 years, 10 re-location's. Will use Rossi 60 for power, Spring-Aire's, altho I have plenty of Rom-Air's.
It is still intact, and only problem is the skin's have separated on the stab cores. Wing is fine, but it had been glassed.

Have to move the NG down to the tank floor bottom for clearance of wheel into wing LE, 3/16". Not much sticking out, but want it to be smooth, hid when retracted. I have purchased many pairs of Kraft wheels, and have enough now for a lifetime. Little heavy, but so what, great wheels. Pictures here show retracts and wheels on, checking 12" prop clearance to terra firma.

I will take pictures as I move along, but not every tiny thing as I did with the Intruder's. Same paint scheme. DBrown or Tru-Turn metal spinner will look good on the front.
