Wellll........ THIS wasn't the way I wanted to start the weekend.
Soooooooo, started looking at the Red Cross Panel. At first excited because the outline is still there. This will make it easy for those of us who failed art class in elementary school, to tape and repaint, while keeping straight lines and porportions. Then I realized some *&$hole decided to use silicone to hold the red cross panel down on the roof!!!
Restoration is not for the weak-of-heartAnnnnnnnd the hits keep coming.
Turns out if we look closely at pict #3 of the last post?? Ohhhh that silicone sealant isn't just holding the panel in place... oh no no NO!!! THAT would be too easy. It's actually waterproofing the head of a pop rivet. They ran pop rivets down the panel on the passengers side. 12 times.
