Lots of shiny bits Donna.
Yes the plan is to have the Boler back together for the Oregon Gathering in July. Going to be a busy winter and spring but should be able to get it back together.

The job was done by a private body man, he has over 30 years experience and factory trained by Mercedes so I trusted he knew what he was doing.

Get that shrink wrap off before it turns hot..if you lived in SC, it would turn into a Shrinky Dink! Remember those? You are doing an amazing retro...love following your progress.

Too funny because I am looking outside at the great piles of snow and the smoke rising from the chimney and dreaming about it turning hot. Thanks for the heads up, I did remove the shrink wrap as soon as we got it inside, the paint has to cure a bit longer and I was more concerned with the solvents potentially dissolving the film into the paint.

I dont think he needs to worry about it getting to hot any time soon.
When I was in Alberta (where Ian lives) 2 weeks ago it was -40C which is the same as -40F

For those technical folks, the paint we used is call Endura EX-2C, it is an industrial two component polyurethane often used in the aircraft and marine industry. It is extremely tough yet remain flexible which is perfect on fiberglass.

How so cool. Thanks for the videos. What a huge undertaking for such a little trailer. It will be good for 50 more years after you've completed it. The music in the background is fun to listen to also.

Love the cabinetry you've built.
I'm a great one for starting projects, but not so good at finishing them. I'm always amazed at what all you dedicated people can accomplish. Wish I had the energy and the focus.
