URTX 26640 Update September 23, 2009

Details

They say the devil is in the details! Here Victor Humphreys is spot priming new nailheads in preparation for the final finish coat of orange.

End Ladder

No, not a new end ladder but it certainly looks new. Dick Cubbage seems to be enjoying himself as he tightens the bolts after he and Kirk Warner re-hung the ladder on the left side.

More Paint

It must seem like it will never end as Victor Humphreys adds the final coat of paint to the left side plug door and hardware. That is a LOT of orange on the side of that car.
