Thursday, June 17. 2010URTX 26640 Update - June 16, 2010 Door Let's start this entry focusing on the plug door on the north side. Roger Hugg is back in the area and helped with placement of some of the patterns for the lettering on the plug door  Door Of course we managed to paint all this black lettering. How does it look?  MILW Herald Newly uncovered photo evidence made us decide to add a MILW herald to each side. Buzz Morisette and Victor Humphreys are laying out the masks for the north side.  MILW  MILW Buzz has started to apply the first coat of red for the herald on the north side.  MILW The masks are applied to the south side of the car and Victor is lightly sanding/scuffing the white area which will soon see red paint.  MILW It doesn't take long for Buzz to move to the south side and begin painting the red areas. Thursday, June 17. 2010GN 70104 Update - June 16, 2010There was good weather yesterday so much of the work outdoors resumed, on several fronts.  Just a Trace John Faulhaber is tracing data for the GN hopper before we remove all evidence of the existing with sandblasting. We are reviewing all data documented so far, and scouring through layers of existing paint and crud to reveal old paint and letterring.  Reporting Marks The first solid evidence of the reporting marks and numbers are starting to show through.  Reporting Marks Victor Humprheys and John Faulhaber stand proudly before the area defining GN and 70104. There was no trace of this before their hard work and careful sanding. You need to be part detective, part research specialist, and part archeologist to suceed here. |
