Paint it with epoxy resin to seal it up, it'll be fine.

Like the axle covers and especially the vertical tire "shields" or are they "barge boards"? What ever. I think I see your plan. Sorry I won't see you at Speed Week but I will follow your progress on line. Go fast Sparky!!

Not much matters and the rest doesn't matter at all.

C'mon, Jack -- don't you remember the Constellation?  President Eisenhower's presidential plane was a Connie named "Columbine". :roll:

Triple-tailed Connie?

Wasn't that the nickname for the siamese-siamese triplets from Canada?

Well new lessons learned, Starting a new eng by squirting fuel on top of the throttle blades does not work the same with a tunnel ram as a single plane .

Looks like we will have to prime the carbs like we do the dry sump.

We used our electric drill trick to run the fuel pump and got all leaks stopped from our new tunnel ram system----the once we got the dist in the correct position it fired right off and sound GREAT---but the timing light flash wasn't in the right position--research and correction coming up :-D

I worked as a ramp serviceman for TWA at the time they went all jet (first airline to do that) and worked the last Connie as it went through St. Louis on the way to be decommissioned.

Sparky you and Francis and whoever else you have helping are doing good  :cheers:,

Flew on one in "52". DC3 from Des Moines to KC, then a Connie to LA. Stews let me set in first class so I could watch the pilots (open cockpit doors then) and the propellers. Loved it.

Life is an abrasive. Whether you get ground away or polished to a shine depends on what you are made of.

Francis, had a family member that also worked for PanAm and he loved to tell the Company joke about how they had to phase out the triple tail Connie because their aging pilots just could not keep up with 3 tail pieces!

Andy and I had a great day in the shop we are almost done with installing a 50 gal aux tank and a trans oil cooler in the 2001 8.1 that we put 4.56 gears and are rigging out for a tow/push truck  everything should be great except for the fuel bill---as I like to say---" if you are going to work the ponies you have to feed them"   :-D  we are planning on working them!
