Thanks so much, RM!
I got the basic engine done with valve springs, rocker arms and associated mechanics, spark plugs and plug wires. Then I installed the engine in the bay as a first step to fixing the front. The engine still needs the exhausts etc. but I can put them on after I play with the lower cowl and grill. Wish me luck! I also got the tails all rigged and control lines added as well. I was just putting off the front end.
More soon with hopefully good news.
