The next step will be to mount the sail and its rudder. Oh, and not to forget the Bridge doors. Then sand it all down and check for any missed booboos. Oh , yes, all the bondo at the seems needs to be soaked with thin CA to give it a little more strength.

Here is the latest. Some scribing on the hull. The Dive brakes, Exhaust outlet, Anchor panel and sail scribing. I am hopeing to have this thing painted by Friday.

UPDATE!....................I finished the starboard side grille. A little touchup and the scribing operation will begin Enmass.

This was sent to me by Jim Wakefield, the man in charge of upkeep on the museum Albacore. It shows the plexiglass window on the upper front of the sail. It is there to give men on watch a way to see forward and yet be shielded from the elements. As he said, those very same elements have turned the once clear plexiglass into a non transparent grey.

Trout, I am going to forward the whole email to you. Feel free to save my email if you wish. mgreen@standardconcrete.org
and anybody else who would want it.

tchalfant at earthlink.net and Thank you!

[greenman407]

If I had your email I could send them to you as I received them.

[greenman407]

Good question. I tried to load them as they were but this forums system wouldnt allow it. So I had to convert them to JPEGs

[trout]

Is there a way for us to get the PDFs?

[greenman407]

They were PDF files that highlighted one area over another. When I converted them to JPEG form they centered themselves revealing that they were taken from the same shot. Thus the three pictures that look the same.

[trout]

Nice information!
Thank you.

[greenman407]

Jim Wakefield sent me these drawings on the Masts.

[greenman407]

Yep, that was my daily soap box.Give him a soapbox!
