Gloss Over

March 4, 2018

Pulled the starter back out today. It seemed to come out a lot easier this time. I would almost say I now know what I'm doing, but that would be a statement only a Foolish Mechanic would make. That said, now that it is out, which finish should I use, satin, semi-gloss or full-on in your face gloss? 


I was hoping to get it painted today, but not getting up until ten aye-em and a two hour shopping outing with HRH kind of put a crimp in my plans. Tomorrow. There is always tomorrow.


(I ended up going with a semi gloss.)

DRAINED

I've been a bit negligent in posting lately, mostly because I've been tied up on other projects. Be assured though, that Johnny is doing well, except for a minor battery drain issue we traced to the refurbished Becker radio. The radio was sent back to Becker (unfortunately out of warranty) for refurbishment yet again and should be here early this week. I'm still in search of a pristine dash to replace the slightly cracked one; however, it's not a priority. Sometimes I consider the cracks "patina," and other times they just annoy the hell out of me. Below is my good friend and fellow UAL pilot Joe Hayes posing for a glam shot in the driver's seat.
