The toolkit I ordered from Brown Tool is arriving tomorrow so I spent the time I would have spent building just priming more parts.  One thing that took a bit of time to figure out is that the front door supports have a tab that needs to be bent back about 45 degrees to hug the big C-channel that mounts against the similarly sized angles, or it won&#8217;t slide into place.  You have to look at the drawings <em>really<\/em> close.  I&#8217;ll take a picture tomorrow.  I should also mention you&#8217;ll want to order your tools way ahead of time.  It could have been COVID slowdowns or just bad timing but it took about a month and a half for them to arrive, so if you&#8217;re planning to build and you&#8217;re like me that had tools but none of the specific tools and plan to get a toolkit, order your kit well ahead of when you expect to start.  This worked out perfectly for me with the tools I need arriving the day after I needed them but it was just dumb luck.  I plan on doing a short inventory of the kit in an upcoming video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">April 16 through May 1, 2021 &#8211; Firewall frame and nose gear brace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bede BD-4C Build Log 003\" width=\"586\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-w4RJQ0fxN8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bede BD-4C Build Log 004\" width=\"586\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g2PyCObuMzo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After the break to attend Sun-n-Fun, work was started on the lower center of the firewall, mainly the nose gear bracing.  May 1st I finished fabricating the engine mounts from the large Aluminum alloy square tube.  After fashioning all four and re-measuring, everything was bang on save one where I realized one of the holes where the engine mount will ultimately slide into is off by about a tenth of an inch on one side, so I&#8217;ll likely need to order a one foot piece and create a replacement.
