Default The 'Bird is Back!

I finally got the 'Bird all back together!

There's still some details I need to get to but for the most part it's driveable!

Yup! Looks pretty good eh?!?

I gotta say, though, that I wouldn't do that again! It took WAY to many hours of sanding that I could have spent setting up a spray booth and just Basecoat/clearcoat it! Not to mention that I almost ruined it in the buff stage by burning through the paint! I would have shot myself after all that work!

It looks awesome. You may never do it again, but it's a story that will live forever I bet! When you get the paint bill from Rodger, ask him how many rollers he used!!!

Later,
