Well, some updates.. finally. Been busy :) So the new mig works GREAT. Not only repaired the rear section I needed to get done without cutting it back out, I also got the cowl piece in before the show. I ended up only getting the thing in primer in those pieces that were previously sanded...

Now that just ain't right. Makin' a girl wait on steaks. Flat, whatcha thinkin?

He owes you too?!?!? And here I thought I was the only one.

Um, not to get off topic, but that's a pretty decent Harley front fender on top of the hood in the first two pics. If I had to guess, later 40's early 50's WL to be exact. Don't see those much with the braces still intact, usually those are the first to rust away. Back to your regularly...

Man, that's close enough (about an 1 1/2 hours from here) that I may have to slip down, if not in the panel, at least in the HHR to check out the show.

It's actually right before the rear fender, on the side of the truck, and nope, can't get to it as there is an inner panel there. Makes it a pain to find a good clamping spot as well. I've heard about using copper in these cases as well, and only wish I could get to the area from the back to...

Well tonight I tried to put in a patch around the rear fender, and my arc welder just kept blowing holes in the metal. Welding on vertical curves with an arc welder is a *****. So my wife comes out, see's I'm disgusted with it, and says, "why don't you go buy a mig? Didn't you say that they...

Heck, I've already posted pics of my 1950 WL. Guess I better get those pics of the 93 Sporty put up now like I said I was gonna.

Ah, I hadn't even thought of that, yeah, it's hardened ABS. The chrome on the ABS is probably completely different. Brain fart.

Excellent. vB makes these things a breeze doesn't it? :)

Ahh, if he is then perhaps he's seen the likes of Bubba the Love Sponge and the infamous Gene Lasker. Bubba cracks me up on Sirius every afternoon. Makes the workday tolerable.

From the looks of things, your plan sounds great. I would do the same, stock the black, rod the white.

Actually, something I can contribute since I've done before! Go me! :D You can paint over chrome, but it's a couple step process. 1. Scuff the hell out of it with either 80 or 100 grit sandpaper, and then go over it with a scotchbrite pad 2. Completely wash the part with soap/water, let air...

Just to somewhat echo what Don said, keep in mind what you think you can and can't do. Of course, there are those of us who just say screw it, and try to do it anyway ;) Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and you have to start over a bit. Also I would heed what he mentioned about using...

quick26, I have a Wii, and yes, if you don't watch it you can turn very sore the next day. I was sore for about a week and have lost 17 lbs between the Wii and cutting out all soda drinking (I used to drink about a 6 pack a day). Of course, I'm getting to the point at age 33 now where things...

For me, it would be the 66 Chevelle Malibu SS 396. I've always wanted one since I was a little kid and saw one at a car show. Just something about the lines of that car.

The only stupid question is the one that is never asked. Think that's what you were looking for Bone.. Oh, and welcome Mark from a fellow stupid question guy. :)

Must.. bite.. tongue..

Duct tape should fix them twitchs.. :D

More progress tonight. It's been going slow, but I guess that happens when you have no clue wtf you are doing. :D So I finally filled the patch panel tonight, got it ground down a bit, and will need to finish grinding and blend tomorrow night. Only have about 2.5 hours to work every night by...
