Checked all the wheels today to make sure the pins were engaged and the wheels flush against the hubs. Then Re-safety wired them. Took a deep breath, jumped into the seat, and fired her up. Took a nice drive through the neighborhood. Lots of waves from everyone. Parked her in the garage and checked for loose spinners. None!!

Decided to check the fuel to verify the gauge is accurate. That’s when I ran into a gremlin.

The fuel tank filler cap sits too low to remove. I did get it off but with a lot of work by removing the LeMans filler.




My solution is to epoxy a grab handle to make it easier to remove the gas cap with the LeMans filler installed.

Will see if this works before going with Plan B
