Recently registered and long time reader and researcher on this forum. So I am gonna jump in head first and introduce myself with a question. I have finally settled on the Skybolt as my first build. As a young A&P/IA I do not have the money to just go buy a plane so why not build one as I can afford it! I have come across a project on barnstormers for a fuselage that has been welded by a college professor several years ago. It has sat in a hangar for a decade and has some surface rust. From the looks of the pictures it has yet to be painted. Could this rust be polished out? I do not want to waste my money on a bad egg. Thoughts? I see surface rust and some potential in this project. Just a lot of work to get it painted.
