Completed the panel, everything powers up, all the switches are active, etc. Engine is about 70% hooked up I'd say - needs airbox, exhaust, a couple controls hooked up, cowling, starter, alternator. Obviously the rest of the airplane needs to be assembled too.Customer is waiting on wing repair and his finances come and go so nothing is going to happen for a bit. Here's how it left me...







There's plenty of things I would've done differently had it been mine, but I think it'll be a good plane for him. He's big into the retro panel style, didn't even want digital engine gauges. Behind the left yoke in that pic is a GTR205 and txp.

Good workmanship!
