Well, It's comin' along!

Post by captain_john »

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!

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!
