Thanks for the pictures Ron, looks awsome. Joe C

Oh�This is best quality goods.

power3348-- Thanks [8D]

Finally received the mask that has been in research for sometime and its worth the wait. The F-100 has moved into the spray booth today. After the mask has been applied the areas that are going to be painted get a light sanding with 500 grit sandpaper, then its cleaned and primed with a self etching aluminum primer. Next pictures will show the first of 2 colors for the lightning bolt.

Ron

Today we started to apply the colors [8D] First the black was sprayed in the border areas, next the 1/16th inch border was masked, then a white base is applied, the white is nessessary for yellow bases, then 2 coats of yellow are applied, after 20 mins. a semi-gloss urethane clearcoat is applied. Tomorrow the masking is removed and the mask for the stars, bars ect will be applied.

Ron

Hi Ron,
I am happy to see the paint stage, looking forward to seeing the final result. Joe!!

OK here she is all dressed up We will do a finial polish on the F100 to get off all the finger prints and oxidation that have occured over the last few months but even with that it stands out in the shop[8D] Joe this is another one for our books

Ron

Wow! Now that ladies and gentlemen, is an airplane!

I guess I'll have to warm up the Prius for a trip up north soon...

Bob

Thanks Greg and for your help with the details on the F-100 .

Beautiful! Is it going to be put under glass or just velvet roped off?

Marty

Marty- Joe from the beginning of this project intended his F-100 to get airborne, I hope after he see it in person that doesnt change [8D]

Well then good luck on the maiden Joe. Should be a piece of cake with Bob doing the build.

Marty

Thanks Joe, I relayed the complements to all that worked on it. I did noticed a drop off in our production soon after we assemable and set up your F-100 on the table and I think its because we cant take our eyes off it
