That's a nice looking fuse box. Really nice to see this whole build process.

Thanks - getting there slowly! Smiley

I got some more rivets done this weekend so now the tub and right front fender is fitted appropriately. Riveting is not easy, but easier with the right tools. I have a large dual handle riveting tool, but I still had a problem with the lower rivet in the left side of the tub which did not catch. I couldn't get my head down there well enough the see what was going on so for now I've left it empty.

I've also finished painting the cover plate for the cabin fan so that's ready for installation.

Also, I've got the engine running reasonably well. With the AFR meter I installed last year in the exhaust getting the mixture right is becoming exact science. I'll be posting a video later!

Finally, the vacuum for the headlight is connected and works without any leaking Smiley
