Well, I think I have done enough on this so violated gun bay.
Crushed tail wheel assembly will be next. Hoping the engine shows up soon.
Not sure about tackling the guts in front of the firewall. Will have to leave cover in place.

Terry, you caught me on the back foot, hadn't considered That. Could be my salvation......
So I've cut the panel out for the radio access and built three for the hole to look into.
Just gotta find what the bracket for them looks like. More searching. Just a little clean-up to do.

Will the oxygen bottles ahead of the radios be visible Bill?

WOW, you guys are tops. I can't believe what you all have come up with. TITTS, as they say......somewhere. I will look them over very carefully. But looks like the radios may be behind the access I removed.
However, todays work. Engine pushrod tubes. And I've gone crazy on the prop, which will be chucked on the ground. May have even had a prop strike, curled tips.

I think I got this one, a section of, from Pacific Wrecks. It may show the Radio access behind the opening I made.
