Door Pin Receivers Covers

Happy New Year everybody! The break has been pretty productive, though we haven’t gotten quite as much painting done as I’d hoped (Jerry and Bob have been traveling over the holiday so managing the wings solo was tough).

Spraying Wing Strake Ends White

I painted the main wings yesterday so they’re all white, and I just heated them enough today to get them to cure out (and did some Christmas shopping). I’ll probably get a little more work in tomorrow, and then be out for the holiday. We’re now looking at maybe getting our interior and a check-up at the […]

Painting the Assorted Small Parts

We put the hardware back in, and we’re getting ready to spray primer on the door beams. We may cover them in leather later, […]
