Thanks Jim, it's either Univair or Skyport that sells those wing tank 
indicators. It was already on the plane when I bought it. Regardless, I "stick" 
my tanks as well.

Richard,
 
Great looking plane. I noticed on the left wing fuel cap you have a fuel 
indicator that is similar to the one in the nose tank. Did you just get another 
cap with this visual indicator installed ?  I always " stick" my tanks to 
insure the fuel quantity but this looks like an easy way to monitor the fuel in 
flight.

We had the Coupe down for about 10 weeks to complete the new Paint & Polish 
scheme. We're very pleased with the outcome of the finished product. It's truly 
a Coupe like no other  The primary objective was to offer a modern yet 
classic/vintage look, while minimizing the upkeep of polished aluminum. In 
reality, only "approximately" 20% of the entire aircraft's surface area is 
polished aluminum. The primary paint color is Ford 2008 Vintage Copper, and the 
secondary paint color is Ford 2008 Dark Vintage Copper. IMO, very rich modern 
colors that clearly offer an antiquated flavor!
 
We'll probably go with a new Airtex interior this coming January. For now ... 
we just want to fly!
 
Enjoy,
Richard
