Have to check that out...I was curious what that stuff looked like OUT of the can. You can never judge by those pictures....I just know they mixed it up and sprayed with an HVLP gun.

..... Actually, I could show you flaw after flaw....

The difference between an Amateur and a Professional is that while they both know where the flaws are, only the amateur points them out.

...the professional also COLLECTS money from a project while the amature scrounges for spare change to keep a project moving...

and Copper... I never did take any good pics of my 002 in place...

it looks rather boring anyhow...

But you can be sure that when it comes out of storage to move to its new home, I will try to snap a few...

Thanks for the BUMP of my thread though... makes me feel loved...

Well...I'm definitely an amateur.

I'm scrounging for time....need to pull the rear apart, add to the cage and do the rear arms.

NOTHING done on the car... but i've become a parent... well.... kinda...

...his name is "Poop"... and he may be the best $50 i've ever spent... I think my womern likes him better than the wedding ring... and we won't even go into the cost-to-happy womern ratio between the two...

FURTHERMORE!

We have "all but" closed escrow (signed final papers, and should have the keys by monday) on a home in Poway... It needs love... but 2 car garage and approx 20x60ft of RV parking...

.... about time too... its only been 6 f@#$#ing months worth of looking and putting in offers......

i'll post pics of the bajas new home as soon as I have a key to the front door..

A dog is a four legged anus with teeth... but is also a good bud!

I miss my two terriers (One lived tii 18, the other to 2). Gone over 20 years now and I still miss them. I have a 18 plus pound cat now with, even for a cat, an attitude. My wife’s cat but she bonded to me. Barely tolerates my wife and most other females.
