This next set of photos cover the work in installing the portholes.

Once the sides were opened up, the next step was to install the frames. 

Work space is somewhat cramped and limited.

The EP22 is beginning to look more like the 1953 factory model.

Electrical equipment had to be relocated from behind the portholes.

All eight portholes were installed in two days.
