Okay, so it looks like we're going to see about restoring the instrumentation panels in the cockpit.
I left a message for Doug Drexler on his blog for Mike Okuda on his LinkedIn page, but if anybody has any other suggestions or contacts I'd be happy to get 'em!
And I'll keep everybody posted on the progress, of course.

Okay, I've been back and forth with Doug Drexler, and he and Mike Okuda might come out and give the old girl the once over.
Here's some pics we took yesterday to send to Doug:
In the "Doghouse" (what I call the structure that we built to protect it from the elements...)
Aft Section with Engines Lit (Florescent lights)
Looking Fore Into Cockpit
Looking Aft
Same View w/ Rear Panels & Top Hatch Open
Landing Gear
If we work with Doug & Mike to restore her, I'll be sure to document the event.

Yes, please do!!! Boy, they really did strip the interior but at least it looks like the major components are still there. At least you wont have to fabricate the front console base, light fixtures, ladder etc. Very cool that Doug and Mike seem willing to help out. Looking forward to updates!

You get the feeling reading their blogs (especially Doug's) that the folks who worked on this stuff are as sad to see it broken up as us fans are.

The pic I posted of the Aft exterior probably shows the true color best...at least on my monitor
The body is silver and the nose and horizontal "stripe" down the middle are light gray.
Here's a closer look at what I'm guessing are reaction control thrusters that mount via Velcro onto the hull.

Yay! I'm a facilitator!
Man, when you DO get her finished, you should flatbed her around to local Cons.
You could recoup some of the cost of the restoration.

We are having our big Star Trek auction in June at teh Pasadena Convention Center. Woudl love to add this to the display (even if you don't want to sell it!). We will have some amazing items like Kirk's glasses from TWOK, the Space Suit Model from TMP, a Sulu TOS tunic, Spock's TOS ears, and about 800 lots.
We are working with Trekmovie.com and the auction features the Doug Drexler collection, the Rick Sternbach collection, and more.
I would love to get the Pod on display at the entrance inside the PCC.

Hey Alec, you'll be getting a call from me soon
And I thought I'd share a couple of pics. I had some special guests out at the site today:
Yup, that's me, Mike Okuda and Doug Drexler hanging out at the Pod. The three of us ended up sitting inside for about 20 minutes just talking Trek.
Denise came along as well and we started with about an hour's worth of a tour of our facility here before moving outside. A fun time was had by all.
Doug shot a ton of pics and I rather expect they'll be showing up on his blog soon. I'm hoping to get the boys to do the refit on the old girl.
Definitely a red letter day in Steve History.

Wow! Drexler and the Okudas, what an amazing day that must have been. I see Doug taking pictures, let's hope he blogs about it.

It might be a while...Doug is gonna need some time to mend after being attacked by our "Security System", Gustave from "Primeval".

Wow! That's a security measure even the Gorn would think twice about!It might be a while...Doug is gonna need some time to mend after being attacked by our "Security System", Gustave from "Primeval".
So I'm guessing we gotta wait 'till Doug appears at the other end? :lol
