I may have to do the interior. The cockpit is starting to show some dry spots. I also need to have a new cover made or see if the one I have can be repaired

Hopefully I dont find anything during my leakdown checks.

After rebuilding the engine in '16 and the drive in '17 I hope to be doing nothing in '18! Although I do like the thought of adding 7'!

Man these emails get me MOTIVATED to get out there and sweat my Azz off and get-her-done!
Swamplizard has all kinds of crap going on in parallel:

- Heat exchangers serviced and tested this week and are ready to go in after the blowers.
-New water circulation pumps arrived today!
-New oil coolers primed this week and ready for final paint!
-Weiand 177s with intakes and carbs are half-way here thanks to AMAZING Toledo Ohio Guys from this forum!!! (Need to clean em, paint em, and add fuel PSI gauges to em)
-Really cool Dude in Melbourne FL donated 2 sets of Gil rizers that are 4-feet long (no reversion for me!) - picked em up this week and he refused beers or dinner - gotta figure out a way to repay the man - pay it forward I guess?
-12-Volt A/c system is mounted - old one is out, pump, hoses, and house battery's await final install and test
-60-amp charger mounted and tested .... wiring clean up this weekend
-Pair of battery isolators arrived - ready to mount this weekend
-Buddy is making wideband O2 plates for me so I can keep an eye on A/F ratios once blowers go in
-Blower to intake gaskets arrived today.....still waiting on intake to head gaskets.
-cooler plugs arrived yesterday
-All fuel lines and filters etc are now 1/2-inch or more.
-waiting on new impellers for raw water and not sure if I should upgrade mechanical fuel pumps yet (hence the gauges)

Gonna be really sore on Monday but .... ready to rock!
