Past Projects: Derelict F35 – Update 4

This time we get into the engine compartment, with the structure installation for the large Continental engines. Although we are installing an IO-470, all the structural work done will support a 520 or a 550 also.

Further disassembly of nose structure to beef-up for the different engine installation, all the way down to the keels.

New parts are fit for the rear engine mount.

New parts are fit for the front engine mount.

The nose bug re-fit then a new right-side skin.

All parts are then riveted together.
