It looks okay from a front view but some angles show the grille sticking too far out. Luckily, it's not permanent. I think. 🤔
David G. Posted August 16 Posted August 16 Wow Jim, you're right. This one has been going on for a while! It does look great though and it's been a lot of work to get here. The decal on the package shelf is perfect! David G.

The pirate icon seemed congruous (my new favorite word) to the rest of it. And it's going on a bit longer, David, I have the bumpers to deal with but I'm juggling three at the moment.

customline Posted yesterday at 01:44 PM Author Posted yesterday at 01:44 PM I had sprayed the bumper gloss black in preparation for Alclad II chrome, which I have used before with success. I was waiting for a good day but, in the meantime, I found FusionFirm liquid silver foil. This is a very quick way to get something looking like chrome. As far as using the clear acrylic (provided in the kit) goes, I have not. I'm listening to advice if you have some on that. The jury is still out but it's looking pretty good. They say leave it alone for a few days to fully cure and then it can be handled. So far, so good. Sorry it took such a long time on this but it's squirrel season. Thanks for stopping. 3 1
