A trip to Carlisle,PA

Took a day off and went out to the collector car swap meet in Carlisle, PA. In search of anything F5000. Came up empty, but saw a lots of cool cars and a million parts.Work has again interrupted progress. But did get some of the fiberglass repair on the main body and nose done and shot the primer.

Plating and fuel cells.

My fuel cells from Eagle have arrived. They look good, should fit with no problems. Just picked up 60+ parts from the platers. Decide to go by air, it was a picture perfect day.I have to admit, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning opening up all those little packages. A couple of more things that can be checked off the "to-do" list.

History under paint.

Decided for a little change of pace. Starting on the body work, removed a couple of layers of paint and discovered the 1973 Justice Bros. livery paint as raced by Mark Waco. Confirmed by 1973 photos. Pretty cool. I'll just prime over the stars and leave it for the next person to discover in 35 years.
