A United 757 (N507UA) has finished it's passenger life (1990-2013) and has been converted into a freighter. A full repaint is required. It takes about 10-14 days. 757-222(SF) N770FD with PW2037 engines.
the green section is the prefabricated main cargo door with structural reinforcements for the crown and lower forward and aft floor sections. it is "spliced" (drilled and riveted) to the original skin. the original skin where the new door is, was cut off and scraped.
It's essentially a metal (aluminum) version of the plexiglas window and since it's won't be removed again, it's riveted in place. The plug is bigger than the hole, no worry about it coming loose or blowing out. The 777 and 767 freighters were/are built with no window, lighter and no maintenance.

Ex United 757?? I like it
Yup
These are the guys that I need to work on my car
Wow. That took a long time.
great job fellas
A second life for the plane
I love that music
What music?
@@Magicalwindmill34921 thats the point... there is no music
Isn't this the very silent tune?
Watching the hangar floor and sheet plastic etc I wonder how many hundreds of pounds of oversprayed coatings are involved in this process...
Do they spray aircraft stripper on to the plane to remove the old paint?
I want some mean it’s like so good the paint scheme and everything planet is 757 maybe 800 or a 1000 R from UPS still talents
I don’t even know what u just said
Quiero hacer ese curso de pintura. Quien regala información. Gracias
The initial section that is green, is that a completely new section for a loading door? Or do they weld a loading door into the existing section?

No wonder United pilots quit United and went to FedEx, they were 757 pilots.
So they just paint right over the windows??
@@gamefarmer188 ....
outside?....how do they secure them?

I think at the airframe modification stage they replace the glass with aluminum and pretend the window was never there
Green and purple lacies Porsche cayenne
