Well she didn't make it to Goosefest we all know that. It was disappointing, but the silver aluminum lining is that she received a new paint job and lettering.
With some historic photos and some better measurements the lettering is more historically accurate than it was before.
Some of you might remember my other posts on the progress as the paint and lettering were being applied. Here are the results.
To the pictures.
The changes are subtle. Like the sunrise is longer, taller and has the 50s style offset southern the #3s are smaller and the RRCO logo is in the correct location. Boy #3 is no doubt the straightest goose of them all, she almost looks new.
I'm very pleased that our graphic arts guy agreed to paint the #3 on the back door for us.
