Getting The Free Abandoned Airplane ready for paint. Will it ever get done ?

[@rocroc]

This reminds me of when I was 17 and completely rebuilt my old Volkswagen. When I was almost done taking everything apart my grandma came into the garage and said with tears in her eyes "how will you ever get that thing back together again? It is all you have!" I never gave it a thought then but as I look at this project today, I kind of get the same feeling my grandmother must have had. This has turned out to be quite a project. There is nothing free about it. Every nook and cranny will have been redone. Putting those windows back in is no piece of cake. BTW, when that VW was done and painted, it looked a gem sparkling in the sun. This plane may very well give the same feeling I had with my VW.

[@rebuildrescue]

I’m pretty sure every now and then when I look at all of those parts I start to tear up as well 🤣😂 We’ll get her done !

[@rbotha01]

Bud, I have stumbled upon your channel and have been binge watching since. I am amazed at what is available to you guys. I have never flown in an plane, I love what you are doing! Great job! Thanks

[@electronicsworkbench]

Incredible progress on the 401! A real concern is the sanding without a dust mask. Can't imagine what chemical residues are in the dust he's breathing beyond the particulates. Please wear a mask.

[@shartne]

That green primer is really poisonious. At least my friends dad told do not breath it when used some. Said is was a killer.

[@BYWhiteRock]

@@shartne Absolutely it is. The green primer contains chrome. Very unhealthy.

[@johnnunn8688]

Sanding is being done wet.

[@oliverghunter]

@@johnnunn8688 Not between 2:44 and 3:04 it's not! That's the compressor driving the sander - no water. You can see the clouds of dust and the residue on the body and on Joe's hands. Joes uses the hose to blow the dust off the body at 3:05, then carries on again until 3:30 - wear a mask Joe!!

[@ogloot9728]

You dont need a mask

[@Glazier-gm9ew]

Pro Tips: When removing the windows with a putty knife. 1. Use a smaller (and more flexible) putty knife. Joe already said it - makes the work easier. 2. Spray a surfactant (I use glass cleaner) on both sides of the putty knife. It helps the knife to slide easier on the adhesive, helps to protect the window from scratches, and keeps the adhesive from re-sticking. Great work, guys.

[@a.n.7863]

But you have to admit he (Joe) was holding his mouth just right the whole time.

[@Glazier-gm9ew]

Absolutely. That’s the key to whole operation-glass or not.

[@necaro]

[@onurtezcan2896]

As someone that built race cars for years as daily job, we always fully assembled electronics, etc before sending it in for paint.

Removing those windows is considered a "Cake Job" in the A&P world, especially for Airframers.

@@rebuildrescue Seeing the 401 like that ALMOST makes one want to go polished Aluminum with a ceramic clear coat on top... Just like back in the hayday of post-war aviation! It would definitely be a head turner... And yes, you are out of your mind and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Honestly, I really appreciate when you show clips of what you get for lunch/dinner! It gives the videos a really nice variety feeling and it's a really good pace changer for the video! Hope you keep doing that!

[@MichaelSteeves]

As much as it would be nice to see this done, dragging out the process by doing it absolutely thoroughly is that it makes for even more interesting videos (which pay for the work being done). I'm OK with this going on for a while, I love seeing a *full* restoration rather that the minimum required!

[@archjen]

Their efforts are yielding buckets of rewards!

[@joemurdock6032]

Also don't forget with aviation if you don't trust your life to it it's got to be replaced or rebuilt. That plane is literally a life support system when in flight. That's not something to just do the bare minimum on like some airlines do.

[@shoominati23]

I was going to go with coffee today (morning here in Oz) but after seeing someone else having coffee, you GOTTA have a Coffee!

Got my A&P ticket back in 1975. Once I started working on 152, 172, 182, 210's I was always amazed at ho then the aluminum was. Helped restore a 1943 PT -19 and a 1954 T-34. Then I started working on heavy duty stuff in civilian service for the Air Force, F-111, F-106, F-104, f108, C-130 Hercules and a few others. Big difference. Retired now and miss all of it.

[@brandonderco8311]

Another pro tip guys, get yourselves an air compressor and some drill motors, this will make rivet removal so much easier. The higher RPMs will cut down your time in half and make the job so much more efficient. Great job guys!

[@aaronhowe3523]

"If you have a problem, if no one else can help and if you can find them maybe you can hire..... the A-Team". All you guys need now is a black and red van. Cracking progress/work on the 401 👍😁

[@photosbynickel]

I don't think there is anything left you can take off of this plane. It is absolutely crazy how much you are doing. I can't wait for the day you actually start putting something back together instead of tearing more part. LOL. Keep up the great work

[@thomaswaldorf9141]

Years ago i worked for a air craft paint shop. We found that MEK and scotch pads ( red) to clean rivets up. We also used aluminum 1 inch tape to mask around anything we didn't want the zebco paint stripper to get to. The paint we removed was epoxy based most of the time. And it was the hardest to remove. Look great the cleaning never ends it seems.

It's one thing to disassemble an airplane, you've got an absolute monumental task at putting it back together! One good thing is you'll get an amazing amount of content from the 401! Still got the boat, amongst other projects waiting to see videos on...

[@Brimmlinn]

This brings back memories of A&P school back in the early 90’s where we stripped down a Piper Apache with that old yellow stripper that just made everything fall off, then washed everything down with gallons of MEK, including our hands. Much more toxic but boy did it work. Then in Phoenix on my first job out of A&P school it amazed me to see the paint crews come in and completely strip a DC-10 down to bare aluminum in one 12 hour shift. Aircraft painters have got to be some of the least recognized folks for the amount of effort and talent required to do their work properly.

[@cwbean3087]

I've always used dish soap and water in spray bottle spraying around the window to keep the tool from sticking to the putty on the glass. Make it a lot easier removing the glass. :) Good job!

[@mattivirta]

true pro tips, newer NOT remove windows if paint old plane.

[@mikeoakes747]

Hello just asking for some free advice haha I'm about to be prepping a pretty huge project that is recycling multiple older aluminum riveted structures with 1/16" thin skin that will be used to float in salt water. I was under impression using a brass brush like he is in video would be bad for prep because of dissimilar metal getting impregnated in the aluminum, I' under the impression a stainless brush would be better. I'm looking at doing hydro sand blasting to keep costs down but am also worried that since water used isn't distilled that the minerals in the water could impregnate the aluminum and cause corrosion issues underneath the paint in the future, possibly thinking rubbing down with acetone after the hydro blast could wash away the minerals to avoid mineral deposits. any comments on this approach greatly appreciated

You guys are not cutting corners and the fact that you are saving an aircraft that was one step away from the scrap yard is outstanding! As I'm watching this video I can't help but see the birds nest of wires. How do you plan on handling that? When I did my 77 pickup I dropped in a new wiring harness. It looks like you will be keeping the old harness. I'm sure there are manuals that show exactly how to wire this aircraft... right? Keep up the hard work and I look forward to the end product!

Seeing the 401all stripped down like this just reminds me of all the effort that went in way in the beginning getting it cleaned and buffed, detailing the inside. Remember seeing them al crunching it with the buffers making the old paint so nice and shiny? Remember the cardetailer that went crazy with the steamcleaner on the inside roasting himself? Kind of seems like a painful waste of time now everything interior has been taken out and the buffed up paintjob stripped to bear metal. We still loved it and every step now seems like a major step in getting it flying in all its former glory.

I'm enjoying your videos, just discovered them so I'm binging hard. One thing I'd mention is that I notice a lot of work done without PPE. I did a 24 year career as an Air Force maintainer and have personal safety drilled into my head. Hearing protection, eye protection, and respiratory protection! Glove up when using chemicals and exposure to fuel and oil. Zinc chromate is very toxic, strongly linked to respiratory cancer. Those are my recommendations. I'm starting an aviation technology course at my local high school. We're going to build a Vans RV-12iS kit. I plan on using your videos.

They will all be different for sure. I would not have taken all of the windows out because they are part of the structure.
