Final coats of clear. This stuff is nasty glad I don't work in a body shop.   Two thoughts, Richard: umm, wait a minute. It's after 4:20, so I need a bit more time to thin.... oh yeah... 1.) Until you're done with this project, you should check in here every 24 hours and leave someone here with a phone number. 2.) Send that last pic to "Sound and Vision" with a caption that reads, "I used to read them first." Probably the same publisher as "Spray Shield" magazine, anyway. Do you have a cat or puppy???? Nevermind.
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

How'd you get the port plugs out? I was thinking about doing a set of M80 Ti's I have.

I was going to share that bit of info but really did not think anyone would be interested. At first when I took off the vinyl I cut around the port's but when sanding I bumped one of them and that really pissed me off. Upon further inspection I saw that they were pushed in with a bit of glue around the outside edges on the backside, so I took a chance and just used a long piece of mdf and a mallet and all it took were a couple light taps .

Wonderful - a work of art.
I hope that it's not windy outside because I'd hate to see a mishap...

Thanks for the concern Tam  The weather today was very hot with a few clouds and little to no wind but lots of pollen in the air. It dried in the shop then I moved it outside to get some UV goodness. I really learned a lot and am now working on the second one which is going so much smoother, if only I could learn some darn patience.

Most of my patience left me about 20 years ago. It must be something to do with aging...

One more question..... You may have already detailed this and I have missed it. I'm wondering what you did for the grill pins. Did you install magnets? That's something I'd like to retro into mine.

Micheal I bought neodymium magnets off ebay 1/2 x 1/2 . the plastic holders were drilled /pulled out and then I made the hole just big enough for a tight fit for the magnet then I chamfered the holes and filled over the magnet. I have yet to find some .020 stainless stock to glue to the grills but that will work itself out .
