My fingers are sore. Had to remove the crappy black paint that covered the original metallic red.
It is off to paint and weld repairs. Attached thumbnail(s)

Bruce, you made my eye start twitch'n again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) This is just such a tedious process. It feels like it'll take all of your being to complete it. However, the results will show the effort/time you invested. Keep at it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Also a quick side note…
Request whoever is painting it for you, to use a good epoxy primer to seal off and protect that metal for another 50 years! |
