Next where the prop sticks out its rather eaten away.
1941 Stearman prop cover at the cowl & prop cone below..
Years of wear, tear & weather have taken a toll on the prop cover.
Then a little hammer & dolly work to smooth out.
Tack welded into place.
A patch was made for the out side with reference marks to make sure it was in the correct spot.
The rusted out section was cut out then the new piece was tig welded in place then care fully grinding the welds down.
The inner seal support needed to be made it was both stretched & shrunk to get the proper shape, then clecoed into place.
First a repair section was made to replace a rust out section
The prop cone had a few dents they were worked out on a stake & smoothed using a slap then sanded with 400 grit. ready for polish & chrome plating
Then fully welded & carefully ground smooth & clean. The owner wanted to rivet the inner support on.
