Canopy frame

I actually managed to keep my promise to post more often. The following was done in the past week. We prepared the canopy frame. This involved restoring it, making some replacment parts and painting. It is going off to have the plexiglass fitted. Don't have enough courage to do that in our shop.
Here is the begining:

About three layers of paint had to go off first.

Same frame as above but with the plexiglass and metal fairing removed.

Here it is in primer. The original plating held up well so corrosion was not an issue. But we had to prime the inside for the new paint to adhere better.

And I always was a sucker for details:

Before and after shot:

The latch mechanism before.

and after.

I will come back soon hopefully with more nice images.

Have fun till then!
