Coming together

The RV-9A is coming along nicely. The firewall with its new heater plenum for cold Wisconsin winters has been riveted in place with a few other items hanging on as well. The new engine mount/nose gear assembly is installed and the through-the-firewall wiring is pulled and ready to mate to the engine.
Speaking of engine, the overhauled Lycoming O-320 with factory new cylinders and pistons is nearly ready to install.
The final piece of the airframe repair is the canopy. The rear glass is in and the main canopy is being fit to the frame.
