Darn, and I was going to invite you over to help with mine..... 
Looks GREAT, I only hope to achieve as much with my Caravel. You gave me the push to get back to mine.

Beautiful job. Seven months. Wow. How many hours do you figure it took and what method did you use. I am impressed!

I work on it every hour that I could, haven't figure the hours yet, but a wild guess would be 850 hours. I started by stripping the inside to decontaminate, very important...........

I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was a complete overhaul. I was interested in the time and method of polishing the interior.
Thanks.

How about a peek inside?

Unbelievably nice job! Was the skin that straight when you started or did you have to smooth out some dings? It just looks great! I'm certain you'll have to fend off all the lookers the first time you take it out to camp.

Beautiful! (its so shiny, I gotta wear shades!)
since your sig says that you're "somewhere in the North East", perhaps you'll consider bringing it up to the Alluminations rally to show it off next month!

WOW!! That just sparkles. You did a great job and since you don't want to see rags and polish for the rest of the year, I'm giving you a personal invitation to come to sunny AZ sometime after the first of the year. The weather will be just perfect by then to do the final stages of polishing mine.
