I have a good friend who owns a chrome/zinc plating company in town, so needless to say there is little left for me to plate on my 308. I pay him in beer! Even better yet he likes Busch!!!

Thanks Peter, I figure that while I'm at it I might as well! It's just trying to figure out where to stop that is the killer! :-)

I didn't have any pics of the longer bolts! Started assembly today, got the yolks in, the latches, passenger side fuel tank and one rad fan. Can't wait to finish this up!
