Fuselage June 2006 Updates June 12, 2006 Center Section Prep..... - 2.0 hrs I had my fuel selector plate and fuel caps engraved by Bill Esther. He does great work. These pictures came out like crap. I will redo them later. Harley Dave came over this evening and for only 3 beers he helped me flip the center section over. I had 2 bolts and 4 rivets along the 715 outboard seat ribs to set before this can all go back together. Holy cow.... just think what it would take to get a 2 hour rivet session out of him. Maybe a Case! :) Now I want to go on record to all of you Andiar biggots out there. Just checkout how this will look with the Bill Esther engraved plate with the Cleaveland Tools valve handle upgrade. Once this is installed no one will ever know about what Jeff calls the "Van's Dryer Valve".
