Last summer, while I was up at the hangar working on the RV-8, another RV-8 taxi'd up to look and share info. I'm sorry I can't remember his name (I should) His IO-360 powered ship was a mirror of shiney polished-ness.
I asked how he did it, thinking I would do the same.
Well, he knows a guy that "Makes the rounds" and works our area once a year.
He polishes planes to make enough to travel & visit his friends across the USA!
What a gig!
Wait! I forgot to get his name and number too! :(
Actually, my wife does a great job, of which she is justifiably proud.
