    Hey Chuck can we take the sheeting off for the show? it will make a great display like that. If your planning to do the work on it, that will be one less thing for you to do when you get it back.

    You folks know what needs to be done to her. You can do whatever needs to be done to her. That would include removing the sheeting and marking/cutting out the additional windows she needs.

    Chris took the intiative Chuck and broke open all your balsa windows... I figure you are at 75-80% cut out... and sawed out the deck. The rest of the balsa needs to come off. The remainder of the deck needs to be sanded down and cleaned up. Then the restoration work can begin... including a major crack in your hull... it looks like it was repaired... with bondo.... *sighs* we'll let you know if the patient will live.
