Consumed with guilt


After last weekends car show and beer 4 all I'm riddled with guilt
I must produce!
Unfortunately things are still comming apart - not going back together yet

I need to pull this off so that I can access and buck the rivets on the outer panel

Heck, may as well pull it all the way off and make a new one now

Here is your quintissential "peppered rib" this airplane really is 57 years old
May as well replace this as well

Tracing the profile

This block of wood will form at least one new rib
 

Elegant simplicity - 2 pounds of door frame
 

Finally, the last of the stripping
Good thing, cause I'm almost out of stripper

Okay, I'll admit that I set this all up just so I could sit here and drink a cold one
and contemplate the view over the nose

Hangar Cat
There'll be no rodents in the tent tonight
At least she said there wouldn't be...
I mean, I guess she's on the job
