Yes, I own a Ford, a 2001 Ranger pickup, to be exact. In my particular model they have to remove the bed of the truck to replace the fuel pump, which doesn’t sound like something you’d do often until it happens to you. I’ve never owned a car in which the fuel pump died, but there seems to be a healthy aftermarket in Ford pumps. I’d have changed it myself but time’s a-wastin’ with the move rapidly approaching and the new company just starting to get off the ground.

So, some distractions and not much done on the plane. Tomorrow I hope to complete the reinforcing layups between the firewall and the aft landing gear bulkhead. John has built up a bit of a rim inside the landing light area to hold the Plexiglas cover, which we’ll install with RTV. We’re making progress, slowly but surely.
