More progress. A bunch of accessories built and installed and an engine installation.

There is an issue with the tank installation just forward of the radiator. The left and right sides are supposed to be mirror images, but they are not. the right side tank locating mark needs colored gray. The top circular cap plate should also be moved forward (which I did not do).

On the engine install, the locating marks for the two cylinder parts on the right side are up too high and the parts need to be located as a mirror to the left side, otherwise the exhaust header will not fit.

All mistakes that could have been avoided with careful beta building on GPM or the designer's part.
