I want to buy a piece of the old skin!

Add me to the "I want some skin" list, too!

After all that work, I suggest polish over paint!

Was much (or any) of the skin original?

I presume that you'd only have to replace the topside of the wings and fuselage, correct? I have to admit, I'm sort'a confused; according to the article written immediately after the damage occurred, it sounds like the damage was confined to the control surfaces. Did they just decide to go whole hog and replace the entire skin?

I put in the suggestion with the crew chief this morning.

Cool Chris, I hope they go for the idea.

A little piece of skin would go perfectly in a frame with the autographed picture I picked up at an AO tour stop a few years back.

The metal is going to be available in a few ways shortly. I will post updates here!
