Default PIMP MY TUNA! TB Gets Overhauled..
Well fellas, it's time to FlyingGiants up The Trusty Tuna. She's grounded. This is going to be a 4 person effort, and over the next few weeks, we're going to watch my Extra get it. Tony Russo will be painting the cowl & pants, glassing the canopy. Jeeum is going to tear down the stabs and re-cover 'em, and HeyDick and I will be working on the wings. TB's overhaul will be complete by 1/10/07.

So, here we go.. It's gonna be awhile till the pics start rolling in, but this is the start. What a mess.
