"The Beater Bee" becomes "The Better Bee"

[A12pilot]

Steam gun? Check! Glue? Check! Second carpet standing by for when I cut this one wrong? DOUBLE CHECK!!!![img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] The carpet is down and it's starting to resemble an interior again! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] What about those doors? Well, there's been some set backs, and only a select few know the gorey details, but just know the Beater Bee and me are officially blood blothers.

Gary's car has 53K miles on it, and was parked inside most of it's life so there is very minimal wear on the door panels. As you can see here, after a good cleaning, they're just about perfect!


I can't install the back panels until after I get the headliner installed which will be in about a week or so. It's 24 degrees and everything needs to warm up before I start on the top and headliner. H-Town shuts down when it gets below about 50. Matter of fact, I think the only de-icing truck that IAH has is an old 1972 F-150 Ranger that's half rusted out and may even run on the Type IV deicing fluid that it sprays the planes with [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]


Here you can see the interior trim code written on the back of one of the original rear interior panels. And new headliner insulation installed.[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
