Thanks guys will post some pics next summer when it's all planted. The Admiral got all potty mouthed when I mentioned Pink Flamingos and Garden Gnomes, so I quickly blamed on YOU GUYS![]()
I found a little time to work on her yesterday, she is still upside down and I'm working on the loose or bad rivets, here's the problem. While inspecting the rivets I will see one that the paint is cracked around, usually a good sign it is loose take my sharp wood chisel and hammer and give it a wack only to find it is solid, but the one next to it the head will just pop off, the shank corroded away. I'm finding it very hard to pick the bad ones and don't want to leave any of them. Never run into this before?:frusty:
Not even in a bad dream have I seen that sort of rivet problem. That's going to take some time to resolve.It would be nice to know if a pattern emerges from v5 rivet debacle.
Ugh, that doesn't sound like it was a fun day in the boat hanger at all. bummer......
1 by 1 rivet exam sound like a job that'll require some frosty adult libations
yuk!do the bad rivets make a different sound when you tap them with a hammer?
