Finally a got chance to post some pics!

Got the drives bolted back on for mockup. I relocated the steering ram and tie bar mount to the end of the upper drive casing instead of the top. When it was loacted on the top it used to hit the exhaust when you would raise the drives up. The new steering plates required relocation of steering ram mounts and a I had to make a new tie bar. The old tie bar setup had the tie bar mounted on the inside of each drive which actually made them not turn the same amount. Now the tie bar is loacted on center (34") and the drives both move the same. I installed the new bulkheads to solve the whole trim ram cylinder line issue. Now I get to take it all apart so the drives can be striped and repainted. ALmost time to put it away for the winter! Then I get to focus on the power plants!

Nice job 502!!! Shoot some more photos of your fuel tank install, I walked in the shop the other day and I still smell nasty old gas- pretty sure I might have a leak:mad:

Not sure if the tank's gonna make it in this year. I told the fabricator to take his time and guess what he did just that! It is finally done and I plan to pick it up this week but it's probably going to sit in my garage all winter!

On a lighter note I get the drives sandblasted this weekend coming up! Yippie!
