Today I put transmission fluid in the transmission. I didn't take a picture but probably should have. It was kind of cool to see the gears inside. I also put the straight tubes on the headers. It's a shiny part so I did take a picture:
Then I started marking and drilling the rear cockpit aluminum panel. I probably should have stopped before putting it in and let the rest of the work be done another day. It's a lot of drilling. But I thought I wouldn't get to it for a while if I didn't so I went ahead. There are a lot of rivets to this large panel and once I start with the wet silicone I like to finish. Drilling into the steel frame is always tough and I think I went through almost all of the 8 remaining 1/8" drill bits I had left. (I bought a 10 pack last weekend.) Finally it was in and I looked at a clock and 2 1/2 hours had gone by. Here's what it looks like now though:
