Ariel 145 Skybird

[Remsbecher]

Greetings everyone,
This is my first post ever in life so I hope I hit all the right buttons...nothing ventured, nothing gained.
My A-145 sits in my yard in Bellingham, Wa. where I have worked on it, off and on, for the last three years.  It has grown into a much larger project than I orginally thought.
The decks were soggy along with the coach roof.  I am in the process of installing bronze opening ports.  I hope a photo follows.

Well congrats Skybird! Your post came through loud an clear. You should prepare, however, to enter the fray on those NON-stock portlights of yours.

And of course, it goes without saying, now that you know how, you're expected to post lots and lots of pics of your restoration efforts - especially exterior shots of your new portlights...

Man those ports are BEAUTIFUL !!:)

Do you have any pics of those portlights from the outside?  Especially from 20-30-40 feet away?
