Scott, very nice. Looks identical to the airplane in my garage, and I think we have similar builder numbers too (784 for me).

Be sure you have the hinge assemblies in the correct locations when you put the doors on.
The hinges have the axis of the pivot line canted to the body of the hinge, to compensate for the curve of the cabin cover.
The two pivot axises should be in line when the hinge is mounted to the cabin cover.
If you have the front and rear hinges swapped, the hinge axis line will be way off, and cause binding of the door.

And then there was one
Well its been a long time coming ( four and a half years to be exact) and finally the tailcone was mated to the fuselage this weekend. Everything connected perfectly and its just about time to sit in it and make airplane noises

Well, I'm working to catch up. Last night the local EAA chapter turned out before our meeting to help flip the main fuselage and the next tasks are to add the gear towers to finish section 29 and then join the tail cone. I found it easier to rivet the fuselage sides while it was upside down; I had better access to the rivets at the bottom bends and the bucker was able to sit relatively comfortably under the fuselage and reach up rather than sitting on the unfinished structure and hunkered over to reach rivets at the bottom.
Anyway, here's a link to the video: http://youtu.be/e-shaHZCZyQ. It's not a quality production, just a camera on a tripod while I try to organize a bunch of rugged individualists. The actual flip is at about 3:50 into the video.
