Outside! Not working on the Jetflite tho. The top frame got back from a Pro metal guy and it looks great. Hard to tell there was a bend in it except for the marks left by some gripping devices. Wow, I'm impressed. I'll cancel the purchase of the top frame from some guy on the Classic Glastrons site (who hasn't sent it in 4 weeks). I paid for it too. Here I am sanding with 160 around the dents, then 260 the whole thing (to get the anodizing off).

Plan lots of discs removing anodizing.
I went thru 6 on this one part |
 |
| You can see the dents from the tool |
 |
| Dent flush |
 |
Complete with 360 wetsand back and forth for the brushed look.
That way it'll hold the clear I plan to apply. |
 |
| Nother shot of the finished part. WooWee |
Now off to the plastics house (local this time I think) to get some quotage. Oh, btw, the lower frame now looks like poo poo with this new top part. Oh well, 6 more discs.

I love your blog. I am restoring my 1975 GT 150. I have removed the cap, floor, keel and stringers. Seeing how well yours turned out gives me hope! Thanks for sharing. I'd like to know who you got your GT 150 medallian from. If you get a chance, please email me!

A lye and water solution also works wonders to take of anodizing. Needs to soak a bit, but not much more than 10 minutes or so. Much much easier than sanding. But then I do motorcycles and that's a fairly large part.
