Today was a beautiful sunny and warm day here in rainy Portland, so I continued to clean the Mexican hull. Lots and lots of sand, cigarette wrappers, bottle caps, rocks, found a bullet hole hummm. The corrosion doesn't look too bad, we'll see what it looks like after the skin comes off. I think the most daunting problem is removing all the rusted fasteners, I've tried using Kroil and it doesn't seem to cut. Also, it seems like all the hydraulic cylinders are still inside so that will save money.
I put in a picture showing someone signed the airplane in Mexico in '84, number 954.
