| Began today by filling and sanding some creases/voids/pinholes etc. Next up I installed 3 -4 #8 nutplates to the door |
|
| intercostal/frame and the the rear seat support. These are the surfaces where I will attach the rear seat upholstery panels. I |
|
| wanted to get the nutplates installed before painting the interior. (finishing the upholstery panels can wait, however the matching |
|
| leather hides arrived today from Classic Aero) The interior of the cabin had become 'trashed' over the past 3 weeks, with drops |
|
| of Pliobond, SuperFil, SmoothPrime, Duct tape residue and Acetone adorning various portions of the skins and floors. As well as |
|
| fingerprints which carried all of the above to places it wasn't intended for. So The bulk of today was spent trying to get the cabin |
|
| back into shape so that it can be painted. I chiseled.filed and sanded all of the 'drips' in the aft portion of the cabin, then gave |
|
| everything a good sanding, and then shot it with a couple of cans of Sherwin Williams rattle can 988 primer. It made quite an |
|
| improvement appearance wise. I'll let it set up overnight and then give it all a light sanding w 320 grit prior to masking and |
