I got the drive cover off, think they will stay off till I get upper hull put together and fit everything.
Opened up that PE, man that's some nice stuff. I've already removed the engine louvers and started replacing them. I might end up using more PE Than I thought.
My build ain't gonna be ready June 1 but y'all go ahead, I'll bring up the rear after everyone else gets going.

Well I have been totally side tracked. I have to get a Cisco Certification by this Thursday so I've been cramming for the test since last Wend when I found out.
Stuff like this.
It's not rocket science but still.
Then dealing with weather events, both mine and Ma-in-Law roof started leaking from all the rain we've been getting.
Shade tree over my garage took a direct hit from lightening. Only time will tell if it survives but if it falls, it's hitting my garage, and it ain't my tree!
So here's where I left it last week.
Dr John you said this kit didn't need PE, you were right, but since I got it might as well make use of it. Those rounded off bolt heads are going to be the undoing of me!
Got over zelot removing the plastic parts so I had to rebuild the opening a bit for these slats to fit.
Hope I get on the bench next weekend.

Looking nice Bob! Keep on going buddy!
OK so for the last two weeks more or less I was working on this.
:geek
Got confirmation email this AM. Good for another 3 years with my Cisco certs.
So progress today, if you can call it that.
Again John, you're right. This kit didn't need PE and it's getting more and more aggravating.
Those pointed bolt heads or whatever they are, they only gave us what we need, no spares.
I used some hex head bolts to fill in the holes. Hope no one with a pin light will notice they are ASE and not metric. :hmmm
I mean for what you pay for this stuff you'd think they would throw in just some extra rivet heads you know.
I used the kit parts for the frontal armor.
And tested fitted on the lower hull. Lots more to do, I got jury duty next week, will be laying low at work because we in "change freeze" so no projects will be moving forward. AND I got 18 days of vacation to burn before July 31. :dude
Looks like I need to clean my lens on the phone. :stinker
