Glider resto: home stretch!!

Postby beaky » Sat Jun 27, 2009 6:10 pm

Had Friday off from "real" work, so I put in an honest day's work on 94H. Got the fun stuff all to myself- putting all the interior stuff back in. Fresh paint on everything, new wooden seat parts, lots of new hardware, and new (excellent) stick grips.

Yeah, well... it will almost certainly be ready this weekend, but we may not have enough hands due to the holiday, and the weather (except the 4th) may also be a problem.  We also had a little setback yesterday: the paint on the door must've been contaminated, because it started to "crackle' in one spot after the 2nd coat... had to strip it and start over (today).
 But  the fabric-covered tail feathers are done, the metal stuff just needs one more light coat, the panel is about ready to go back in, and I'll be starting the nose art tonight.
