From Ken Ramsay:
-
- The damage to the F-104’s fuselage is being repaired.
-
- As is the damaged nose cone.
-
- And one wing has been brought in for restoration.
-
- One thing missing in the restoration building was a method to lift equipment and aircraft components. This was solved last week by the installation of a large beam with two lifting casters. The following photos show the installation of the beam. Due to some precise planning it fit perfectly without any adjustments needed.
-
- Ready to lift.
-
- Going up.
-
- Fitting left end into the mounting structure.
-
- Fitting right end.
-
- It’s installed.
-
- Welding anti-sway structure (and finish job on top photo).
-
- The V-1 BuzzBomb has been painted.
-
- And some insignia applied.
-
- Dan is working on the Cutlass’s left accessory compartment.
-
- Paul is restoring the right intake area on the Cutlass.
-
- And removing the windscreen screws is proving to be a real pain.
-
- No it is not a jail cell, it is a new sheet stock rack.
