Posted 26 Feb 2017 (edited) What's your plans for finishing the wood off? I'm in the same spot with my MK4 project. Fabric For Me Mr. Mostly because I like the way it looks. You could easily do a small amount of super fill and paint and I believe they would look just fine, Edited 23 Apr 2017 by TJay 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 6 Mar 2017 Keep at it TJay, wont be long now!. Wish I was working on my airplane projects. I'm a bit further north, made it to Greenville SC where wife's daughter and grandkids live. I'm doing projects for them now. Women really do need a man around for those honey do projects. I guess I got nominated here. Keep on the fox, it will be ready for that first flight soon. Keep up with the progress pictures also. JImChuk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 9 Apr 2017 I think you guys have been looking at some of my pictures I've posted, and the rest of the garage is shown if you look beyond what the picture was about. I should take your advice and do a complete cleaning. :-) JImChuk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 15 Apr 2017 All set up now to run Gravity Feed and Or the electric Faucet Pump, decided to put in a Fuel pressure gauge to see how its doing since my MGL is to old to have that option, also thought that would be a nice spot to have my low fuel header tank light, 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 23 Apr 2017 Looks great. Think you might get her up in this Spring? For what its worth, these tires seem to like about 4.5 psi. Anything higher starts to make things a bit bouncy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Apr 2017 (edited) Looks great. Think you might get her up in this Spring? Probably more like this summer sometime, This nice weather makes me want to work outside around the house more than sit in that garage, Thanks for the tire tip Edited 23 Apr 2017 by TJay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
