I got it all stripped, some blasting, lots of sanding/prime/paint work, and a good soaking on the chrome in some citric acid....it's not going to be a traditional Coleman paint job on it. Shot some paint on some of the parts this evening....need to finish paint work tomorrow, not rattle can, sprayed it with the detail gun and a catalyzed enamel. I do the interiors first...then mask and shoot the exterior. Stay tuned....for a Sunday unveiling (sans decal)....hopefully. Rich gave me artistic license on it, hope he likes it! Doug

A new project 426B
by doug hodder » Fri Apr 15, 2011 10:17 pm
I was down at Rich and Penny's (aka Rocketgirl) a couple of weeks ago...mentioned that I needed a project to do up. Rich had this 426B partially disassembled and ready to be restored. He picked this one up for 10$ I think at a garage sale...also got a couple of cans of fuel with it as I recall.

Now I need to start working on mine and see if it gets finished before the tear does.
