Tony, good to know plywood in that big of a chunk is available. The frame is a Starduster Too. My #2 son bought the plans when he was 14. He is now 42, a Gulf one vet flying a KC-135 tanker and is now 1st officer on a DC-9 freighter for DHL (Airborne Express). He has been working on it pretty steady lately so I might get to see it fly before I expire. Splash I got one quote from Redi-Strip for $1200 on my sub. Too rich for my blood. My #4 son had a local guy blast his 69 Judge body for $350. It came out just fine so I think I am going that route. If you can find a guy who knows what he is doing with a blaster and not warp any panels it is much more economical. Don't know about Ray. Tell me more. Weeds
