She is coming along…
Well here we go with another update…I know I keep saying we are close and I keep telling myself that…
As of today I feel like I am still a little bit out. Guessing at least a week… 
With all of the “little” things that need attention given how much we have done to her we are now just addressing the loose ends. Crazy but true…there is always something.
I will try to go through the items here in photos…
For starters…the new rubber for the baffling arrived. We pulled the old rubber out today and started to add the new.
Needing to replace this (we have the new one in hand) as a bolt hole was cracked during removal 
(easy fix) Will also need to vaccum out the inside of this tank…
I ended up replacing all of these as they were cracked. You will see why they are not screwed back in yet…
We need to fit the control cables back into the wings…
Any idea how long the new wings are with the Wing X? Try 39.8 feet!
Ever curious how much the Sportsman adds to a stock Cessna wing…this pic give you a good idea…over 3 inches
Battery is and has been firewall forward…this may end up changing depending on the actual weight of the nose
Before the new baffling but thought this was a great shot of my oil cooler…it has been overhauled and she looks brand new!
Looking up at the new engine…she sure is pretty
This is also an easy fix but it needs attention
New interior flooring from SCS arrived and fit like a glove
Baby BW and cables that need to go on…easy….also my cowling sitting there. It went to a machine shop and came out great!
Not certain I like how close the alt sits to the firewall. Will need to address this…Ideas? We have some as well… I can fit 2 business cards behind it now… 
Right wing flap needs to go on…Easy…you can also see my boot covers (stainless steel behind the rubber on the leading edge) for the horizontal here and my GoPro mount (its a surfboard mount)
So thats about that for now…Its frustrating as I type all this and think…wow I have a lot to do still but really its not that much as I think those of you that know will agree. Its all just little stuff. Of course we still have all the probes and such along with the exhaust and prop details but we are thinking about a good solid week ahead and she should be ready to fire up. Almost 6000 views here…I am blown away. I will keep you posted as the work progresses… 
I sure dont like looking at her with those little tires…I dont think she likes they way they feel either…
