Second side is clean and Bondo is placed.

These are the voyages of the Star Trek Strategic Operations Simulator. Ok, enough joking. Side one is completely clean and ready for semi gloss brown paint.

Getting Naked! This is really one 9x11 80 grit paper’s worth of work. Maybe an hour of time. It is less than a third of one side?

Restoration is not difficult, just time intensive. Oh, and it is messy, very, very messy. The shop is a necessity it took me 9 years to discover.

I just put the last (I hope) of the Bondo on this one. Tomorrow we can start sanding.

Right side is clean but needs Bondo work.

I have removed the old side art from the left side and started the Bondo on the beaten corners. I removed the stinky, old, still damp in places, wooden base. After I clean the floor up and place level levelers it will rebuild it.

As the Bondo dries I am done for the night.

I am once again called to Finish a project that has annoyed it owner to the point of pain. I am finishing a Sega Star Trek Strategic Operations Simulator.
