ratdoggy Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) I guess you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. That's beautiful James. I always thought all the '59 GM cars were great looking BTW James you live close to me. Edited April 17, 2014 by ratdoggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James2 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Major/miner set back while doing the BMF last night! You know when you are holding the body in one hand, tweezers in the other hand and a knife in the other hand and the BMF with your other hand? Suddenly you realize you only have two hands and the body slides from your delicate grasp and tries to penetrate the floor? Well I have learned somethings from this. 1. Dumbell, you only have two hands. 2. I don't loose my temper as easily as I once did. 3. Plastic will crack and bounce at the same time. 4. Paint does crack. 5. And I hope to learn how to fix custom paint without striping the body! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James2 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Making due, repair and BMF in progress. Interior lighting does no justice to the shading in this paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
