Cobbled up a space block from some nice white pinefor the motor to get it out farther for balance but not too far as to ruin the looks of the plane -

Spacer block also holds the single landing gear strut and sandwiches it in between the firewall and spacer. -

Plenty of room for the stuff that makes her go. Not enough for a 426 Kieth Black Hemi, but still alright. -

Tracing for building wing tip. Same deal is needed for main section as original drawings only give half plans for wings. Here you build on side then flip the paper over and build the other. Main section will be traced then turned to plot wing ribs. -
