I need to get the landing gear overhauled so I took the wheels off the landing gear this morning.  I will get the new tires and tubes installed at this time.    I also media blasted a couple spots to see how it would work and it seems to be fine.  I may do it to some other spots before I get it painted. See below.

Thanks to all of you who came up to help and to those who were there in spirit to get some work accomplished in the Stinson. We accomplished a lot. It is now ready for primer and paint. Once this is done the reassembly process can begin.
