Hi Friends,

I visited the paint shop this morning. They have begun stripping and
grinding away all the old paint, primer and Bondo from my TD's wings.
Here's a look at the metal below the crud.

The guys are going to clean it all up and apply a rust-killing acid
etch primer. They'll then apply a skim of filler where the surface
rust has eaten deeper than what a high build-up primer should fill.

Here's a look at the front end of the left-front wing where previous
damage has been (kinda) repaired. This is a good example of where the
metal will be fixed and any remaining little 'dimples' will be
infilled.

Progress, if slowly. The shop expects the job to be finished by the
middle of next week.
