Life has been busy of late and the Invader project has been pushed to the back burner. Having a few days off from my day job has given me a chance to get into the garage and continue repair work. First item of business was to put an air conditioner in the shop. I should have done that years ago. With the AC in, today I started to patch the belly pan.
I will add that while I was in the machine shed getting a donor belly pan, I couldn't resist the temptation to start a few sleds. And, I am happy to report that the 78 Intruder and the 79 Invader 340 were easily coaxed to life. One of the 79 Intruders that I tried had a very sticky primer and didn't respond as well.
