Reveal

The paint remover that is being used to remove the paint from the inside of the deck lid is, in its first round, removing all but the original paint. This is revealing how this was assembled and painted originally.

The latch that was in the center of the photo above was painted along with the panel while the latch to the left was installed after and, judging from the latch itself, was originally black.

This is making figuring out how everything was finished originally much easier.

And photos. LOTS of photos.
