Yes, and I bet you even have some first hand knowledge about them somewhere along the line.

I would have added extra insulation to the back of the heat shield while it was off. You will see later why I say that.

Yes rick, I know what you are referring to, that is where we would also set our c ration cans to heat up, also think that the paint would eventually get just a shade darker there, but then again it might have been from the stuff that got spilled there.

Got another area looking better then it was, also closing up the holes where probably an M14 rifle mount was located, going to retain the mount on the r/h side, as on that side it won't interfere with my feet.

Found this Run # 7 on this panel. Does this mean that this was the 7th time that this panel was run? Does anybody have any more info or knowledge on this? I e mailed Ken of Muttguru but have not heard back form him, hope he is well. Larry

Looking good, looks like the side repair panel from Guy is long enough to make the full horizontal run after cutting the side drain out. Keep the pics coming.
