Still messy but it works! My Glasair III will fly, it's just a matter of time now.

Getting close now. Firewall was a big project in itself. Now with it done I can reinstall the fwf (already roughed in as part of the process). Going forward it's more a more direct path of assembly for the last time. Feeling good about my chances to fly it this year now.
