The colour looks off with the flash. In person it is a very good match to some of the protected areas of the original paint.
The curator also didn't want the dents takenout of the fenders, nor the wing edges re-built. I have to say that suited me fine. We also did not touch any of the paint below the box. That area will be preserved as is was found. Here I was worried about trying to find some extra hours to complete it on time. I forgot all about the 2 hours in the morning from when you get up until you actually start work. Eating my pancakes now and then off to work.

Well done. Great work. Hours in the day? That's what they're there for, aren't they?
PS. Although I'm not a restorer, I work on the basis that the best work is done tomorrow - I'm in awe of you guys who do it, and more, today.

Neil Yeo was in to help me last night until almost midnight when the little tyke had to head home for sleep. I remained until 3 AM so I could finish up the canvas work. It was required to be at the museum this morning at 0700, (I was on time...Neil slept in), and in it went. So I said goodbye to her for now, but here are some shots of it as it left the shop. I intentionally make the canvas loose because there will be up to 10% shrinkage. It doesn't look great at first, but the alternative is a tarp that you can never get off again or even worse, take off and never get it back on.
All told, I had around 160 hours of overtime on this project in the past 6 weeks.

Spotted in The Maple Leaf
This was published in the April edition of The Maple Leaf. Good to see some national coverage of your work Rob.

Shilo Truck
Have enjoyed following the restoration on the forum.
Grabbed a few shots you might find interesting ….if you match them to Rob's commentary…during June 2016. Tried to stay out of the way when taking the shot's…as he was a very busy man at the time.. Last edited by Dennis Cardy; 08-05-17 at 01:28. Reason: Photo's did not attach

You can see just how rough a problem the restoration crew had to deal with..Leather Buggy seats in final stages of disintegration .
