Agreed. I was thinking one of your progress shots could make an inspirational banner for the 170 group page.

Re: Project: Cessna 170B

We need to schedule the first "Deconstructed Cessna w/grey paint and black Selkirk foam" annual fly-in. It's gonna be ridiculous....

Great job Rob!

Re: Project: Cessna 170B

Great job Rob
Its pretty clear to see the plane is both your mistress and you wife.
The mistress says MORE! MORE!
The wife says BIEGE! BIEGE! I think I will paint the ceiling beige.

Re: Project: Cessna 170B

Well we didn't get out of the hangar until 4am but the painting is finally done. I'd like to thank my dad for coming down for the week to help me out. I'd also like to thank Bryan and Justin for showing up last night and helping to mask off the plane. We might have been there a couple more hours without your help.
