[MP&C]

A few more hours was spent getting the light opening to match the new, unbroken light, we welded up some of the screw holes that had torn, and given some of the structural members in the way of the roof, we had to settle for no oil canning and a slight low that needed filler.. The owner was more concerned about leaks than having the roof top that no one can see returned to perfect. Here's some of our implements of correction










Last night we finished up sanding the roof repair on the bus, and started to get things covered up for primer.. Being the lighter of us two, guess who got roof duties for rolling out the shark grip?

Using transfer punches, mounting holes from light are marked onto the ring and drilled to 17/64 to accommodate 8-32 rivet nuts...















It was also media blasted to prep it for the epoxy primer session for this evening.
