A friend from Portland OR stopped by to see the Stinson.

Fitting the left wheel pant. The chrome piece will be installed later. This is just to make sure everything fits properly.

Now it’s the small items that will take some time to finish up. One such item is the left side gas cap which I failed to paint a while back. It’s also the small trim pieces around the windows and one piece from the cowling that needs paint.

The temps went from 90 in Saturday to 62 today so we spent some time at the hangar in sweatshirts today.

The oil cooler to the remote filter is in the way of the lower cowling. I need to move the line.

Except for the wheel pants, these are the last few pieces to install. Went to the hangar this morning, but the temperature was just too hot to stay long.

We went out early to beat the heat. It was really nice with a good breeze until 11:09.

Permanently mounted the oil cooler and the oil temp line. Took longer than it should.

Started polishing the fuselage, too.

Dominik King was in town on business and visited the Stinson today. It’s nice to get the younger family members involved in the history on Fritz and his airplane.

Still installing the baffles. Using new brackets on the front and back baffles.
