Painted cabin frame

I cleaned up the cabin frame in preparation for painting. While that was drying I installed the custom heat muff that Rick Robbins made for me with the inlet and outlet 60 degrees apart. He turned around my order really quickly and it turned out perfectly. Thanks Rick!

The fit is great. The angle between the inlet and oulet provided the best path for the SCAT tubing. It’s a little tight running the SCAT tubing inside the intake tubes, but there’s enough room. I’ll clamp it in a few spots to keep it from rubbing on anything. Getting the SCAT tubing over the flanges is not fun. Hopefully this is it. These shots are oblique from the front, front shot, and side shot.

The nice part about our recent warm weather is that stuff drys fast. I was able to prime the cabin frame in the same night. Not only that, but I sanded out a few parts, blew off the dust, and did the final coat. The filler isn’t perfect, but it looks much better than without.

Productive night. I wish they could all be that way.
