Well onto set back #164 (exaggerating but not by much). I noticed that the base for the pylon was still flaking off after I got it to bare metal before I painted it. After further inspection, I'm afraid the walls of the steel tube are going to be too thin.
Additionally the aluminum plyon itself was bulging more than when I painted the base. I was able to push a screwdriver into the bulge and remove aluminum. Looks like the galvanic corrosion introduced iron into the lattice structure of the sinning l aluminum.
Lucky I have a family member who is a professional welder and other friends who have a lathe. I'm going to try to make my own plyon and base.
