The Nose

We got a break and applied more black paint to the primed areas on the nose.  I say 'we' but Victor Humphreys did the dirty work.

On the Body

And on the body, Victor was adding more finish paint.  In an ideal world all of the areas wearing primer get at least one cost of finish enamel to protect them over the coming winter.  You can also see that the south side has been 'winterized' getting that ready for bad weather.  All openings have seen blanks installed, here you can see the south window and south door have been so prepared.

Headlight

In the shop Ray Pollice continued the patient work of paint removal on the new headlight obtained and donated by one of our remote member/supporters.

Headlight Parts

Ray finished up the paint removal and here are the aluminum castings waiting for a special primer to be applied.  The rubber gaskets are masked off, they are somewhat fragile, and we did not want to risk destroying them to be removed.
