Big Jim's Gymn



I'm assuming that anyone that would put their Luscombe fuselage onto a shish-kabob like I did
would be smart enough to know that stuff like this is necessary
to prevent you from becoming an instant 'Scarface' - minus the fame and cocaine fortune



Back to the buffing - let's knock out the bottom first



Clean-up with the red ScotchBrites under the orbital



Followed by the F7 compounding with Big Jim



I'm making this look like fun - it's not, the smile is a fake



It's really just a lot of work - music helps, along with the right attitude
being in a hurry will get you nowhere fast



Progress may be slow but you've got to stop and take your rewards
In my case it's a six pack of Pale ale (as long as my liver holds out)



Every once in awhile a discerning eye surveys the situation



When I look at it this close I sometimes wonder if it's gonna work
but then I think of how beautiful the skankiest part of town looks from a thousand feet up
It's gonna be alright



Pilots door sill scratches
Did the previous owner routinely leave his seat belt hanging in the wind or did he maybe wear spurs?
Who knows...



Ruh Roh
Time to hit Perfect Polish up again



Side project - iron on transfers



Anybody wanna T-shirt?
Just kidding, this is totally illegal plus those inkjet cartridges cost a bloody fortune!

If you think this is pathetic you should have seen what I started with!
