Looks great FB. I noticed the dacron thread in one of your photos. Are you going with the sewn hinge route? My Taurus has been sitting around for a while, so since this the year of the Taurus, I started the engine and radio installation. Mine has been covered for a while, I used Koverall and Randolph dope. So far it has been sprayed silver but that will be under a white base coat. I'm installing a Veco .61 with a suitable strap on muffler that allows me to retain the exhaust baffle. I'll also use a Kraft XX Series radio, stick configuration TBD (single or Mode II). I'll post some photos later.
