Rain Rain Go Away...

Today was a horrible day weather wise. I really want to get the frame painted and a coat on the wheels but today was not a great day for that. Too windy, rainy and cold. Not painting weather. Tomorrow looks to be more of the same. Blah.

I tried to keep busy doing other things...

I wet sanded down the inside fridge vent panel. Here it is in progress...

You can see the scale on the left and the sanded on the right. I hate aluminum oxidation about as much as I hate rust.

Here is the LAST of our drip caps shined up. The last one being the door cap was knocked out today. I am very happy these are done. That is enough of doing those stupid things...

With the crappy weather I thought I would take some time to clean up the drip rails that I pulled off when I removed the lower skins. Here are the four I wire wheeled today...

There was a bunch of butyl tape both sticky and dry stuck on the back. The PO did a thick bead of silicone to seal the rails which also had to be removed. All of this will help later to make good seals when the time comes to put them back on. I gotta shoot some self etching primer on these. Maybe when the wind dies down.

I went to town on the wheel well trim with the wire wheel. These were loosing most of their paint and had very thick rust spots from the steel screws holding them on. There is a bit of electrolysis around the screw holes but nothing major. Before in the back and after in the front...

 Here is another shot...

Nothing that will blow your skirt up in this post but I gotta stay on top of this stuff. Just trying to keep this current so I don't have to back track too much. I have a few more days left on my vacation so I am racing to get the most I can done before I go back to work. Stay tuned...
