Congratulations on your milestone! R2600 or R2800?
Hopefully I'll be hanging the engine on my T-6 in a month or two as well. Still need 4 good cylinders though.

Mike,
Quick question for you. Not that I am doubting your skill here by a long shot, but are you gonna do the paint work yourself or are you gonna let the "folks" at the aircrafts new residence handle that ?? And just out of curiousity, what would the paint work consist of ? I ask because I have never seen photo's of the Army Air Corps version of the Helldiver before. And we all know what the Navy did for paint jobs on their planes...blue and blue....

Beautiful work as always, Mr. Rawson.
I think it's time to begin planning the hijacking of a certain flatbed trailer somewhere between Anoka and Dayton...
