Started today epoxy sealing safari frames. Paint tomorrow.  

Worked my way around the cab, wet sanding with 3000 grit to take off the the massive amount of surface grime, in the visible areas. 

Done sanding. Starting to work my way back around buffing. 

We will build it if it comes.

Ryan, I’m not sure what KCW uses, but I buy all my rivet setting and aircraft sheet-metal related tools from a place called The Yardstore. Google it. They sell new and used equipment from the airframe industry at really good prices. An invaluable resource for me.

I was thinking the same (cupped) as far as those solid rivets were concerned then a tapered style rivet set for setting the vent wing rivet. I got a couple extra of each type so I can experiment.

Nothing too fancy here.. The cupped end works nice for forming the solid aluminum rivets used on the vent wing latches.

Finished buffing in the cab area… went over all of the door and dog leg edges, door jams, upper rear cab wall, everything overhead, headlight buckets, parcel tray lip, and the dash.

Sanded the roof down also. I’ll get that shined up tomorrow then start on assembly.
