C8 progress in Texas

[Bob Carriere]

Beautiful job.... as usual for you.

What did you use for the wire....? Phil had used Mig solid core wire...?

Sure I can find a pair of pliers that I can either grind or weld and grind to match the original staples hole width.

I think that we are limited to using silver foil as in silver aluminium coating of some sort..... the shinnier it is the better to refect heat. Not original but may be the best we can hope for...... it will loose some of it's shine over time with surface corrosion, dirt, oil spray, etc.

And if anybody asks..... well it was squirreled away from some UFO storage facility..... if you come back at night I can show you how it glows....

Thanks for your help David.
