Revcon Rebuilt Part 7: Painting the Rear Cap

It has been a hot minute (literally) since I've updated.  Summer is in full blast here in southern AZ, so we're only fitting a few hours of work in the evenings.  Usually, it is at sunset or early morning.



But we've been plodding along with the rear of the Revcon.  We concentrated on the fiberglass sections first, before moving onto the aluminum sides.  The rear cap needed additional rivets, holes filled with fiberglass, and of course loads of sanding, prep, primer and paint.




It was over 100 by 8:00AM yesterday when Mike finished.  Too hot to actually paint, but he finished off the rear cap and roof.  While he was painting, I scraped, sanded and painted the rear window so when it is time to install, they are a crisp black, as opposed to scratched and faded.


Summer slows us down tremendously.  But we're trying to get her dried in before monsoons arrive.
