Taking shape

I installed the new radiator with new hoses and anti freeze today. I had to make new mounts for the fan shroud. The new radiator is thicker and newer. I installed the windshield wiper rest that is below the windshield that the wipers retract onto. A tweak on the choke and it starts easier too. I tried to get the hot engine light to work but couldn't. I had changed all the bulbs earlier andheated the sender with hot water and a heat gun. Nothing. I had an old temp. gauge so I installed it. I was going to get some horns but forgot. Horns and tires and it's ready to run.
No flying today as it's 90 in the shade. No clouds either. Tomorrow morning, I have to test some changes I made to two planes before the contest Sunday.
