Once you get this thing suspended from a good strong support and it is off the ground about 3-4 feet - I would be interested in looking at pictures from inside the "05"compartment This would be a square door located aft of the nose wheel compartment - directly below the front cockpit. More pictures please?????
also if the coffin bay door is still there, open it and take more pictures - PLEASE!!!

I see that you got the access plate off of the IR compartment. When you put it back on - do not tighten those screws that much. When you strip out the phillips head, they are only removeable by drilling or using a smally cold chisle. When you drill, only remove the head, then you can get to the rest of the screw by using a small vice grip. The nut plates are hard to find now. The screw has a common thread - probably 10/32 pitch.
In the back acess compartment (Behind the IR head, you should find the two connector plugs that attach to the bottome side of the IR head. The four bolts holding the head in place are hex head - 7/32 allenwrench in size. Some times they were all safety wired with the small size safety wire. usually came from the factory that way! We DIDN"T!! Too much of a problem!
If that airframe had the Closed Cycle cooling, then there would also be another plater to the aft of the plate you have in your hand - somewhat siimilar in size and located a bit farther down the right side of the aircraft surface. Inside of that plate you would find the IR compressor motor and behind it - the IR Nitrogen holding tank. If it was upgraded to the TEC - Thermal Cooldown - all that stuff would be gone So - more pictures when you get the access panels opend up - please!?!?!
