Pretty much done stripping. Looking to soda blast this stuff this week and if I can get some painting done, start some sort of assembly next weekend. I also started stripping teak for refinishing, I'll get some photos when I get farther along.

Teak items just a tad further along.

Had a little setback on a couple parts for painting, inner gimble ring had been sitting and the steel dipstick tube was rusty so I gotta re-blast that. I did however acid wash a couple parts and start priming.

Oh and you can see in the above picture that I reshaped the skeg on the prop side as it was busted off and jagged as $hit.
Then on to some primer, happy to be making a little progress for sure. I ordered a bunch of new hardware for the drive assembly this week like bellows trim indicators and some hardware, not sure if it will be here this week but I have plenty to do either way.

I post the pictures when I screw up too. I'm not a painter and I screwed up last night, just too heavy on the second coat I couldn't get the gun to spray a nice fine mist and was trying to get it laid down. Color match is perfect I'm doing everything in flat red and flat silver.
