Brief Description: Added gear channel and rear seat panel
On Thursday the blank replacement parts arrived from Tom Henderson, so I was able to install them today. The rear seat panel had not been flanged, so I must retreive Randy Thwing's flanging dies from Terry Phillips (thanks, guys). That didn't stop me from fly cutting the 115mm hole and mounting both parts. The process went well, and I even made a run to the hangar to get the center spar, since it is needed in the next phase of construction. Kinda cool to see things temporarily in place (firewall and center spar just clamped, not drilled). Due to moving AJ to her new apartment in Santa Monica and a NYC trip for me next week, not to mention getting ready for new carpeting, don't expect many weblog entries for about a week.
