Hi all,

A first timer here, just got a 1944 L-4J that I am planning to restore. First wantes to x-ray to look for corrosion on the inside of the tubing.
1) Which parts would you recomment to x-ray, and in which order? Only bottom tubes or other parts also ?

2) For the x-ray next week I will need to remove the fabric, at least from those areas to be checked. Any special technique or secrets on removing old ceconite?

Thanks for any feedback! :)
