More work on the Tear

I was gone for three weeks getting the engine back on the plane. I met Jess and picked up the engine, he rebuilt the cylinder with a new head, and piston, and other items. I rented a compact hatch back and met Marshall in Waverly Tn. We hung the engine, and after a few complications test flew it and after about 4 days started for Texas. I made it to Arkedelphia Arkansas, and weather grounded us for 2 days. Sunday morning I left Arkansas with Marshall driving and following along and made it to Burleson. I spent a week in Texas and then came home.. Weather has been bad, but I managed to get the last 2 coats of por15 on the trailer today. Now, 1 coat of etching primer, and 2 coats of rustoleum glossy black and the painting will be done. I also got the battery box welded on.
