As you know, I have been painting the interior of my plane over the past couple of weeks and I am reassembling it now for riveting. Here is a pic:
I like the flat color and glossy finish of the Nason product. I think it will stay clean for a long time.
I am so thrilled to be ready to rivet again!

He is. He had one too many Capt Morgan's and fell in head first while taking the picture.

Hmmm, the Captain's lets me think!
I did most of the fitting right side up until I made this kick butt stand.
It is 3' off the ground and really easy to get underneath. I can sit on a stool and buck comfortably like this.

Rum after work, only! The work comes out better that way! MEK only when the rum runs out!
