Both wings have now been sanded and resprayed with Poly-Spray. If the weather holds I'll start spraying color with Poly-Tone.
The gear legs are cleaned up and the step rivet holes inspected for cracks, fortunately none were found. I've sprayed the first coat of epoxy primer on the legs. I like epoxy primer better than zinc chromate. They'll get one more coat before putting them back on the fuselage.
I have 2 sets of wheels and brakes with the project, one set of Goodyear and one set of Cleveland. We'll try using the Cleveland assuming they clean up to be serviceable. I've started bead blasting the parts to remove paint and corrosion. At least the rotors cleaned up fine.
