[NICE59FORDF100]

LOL, i appreciate the offer : I only weld when there is a stone inground pool with lots of models taking pictures...


Just saying

 

[TxPlates]

Well I'm sure I can find someone in the hill country with a pool....as far as the models you'll have to import them, I live in a retirement community haha.

 

[NICE59FORDF100]

ah shoot, we can have a geriactric bikini contest at your house! I think i remember you saying something to that effect too :

 

[TxPlates]

Yikes, if that actually occurred, I'm pretty sure I'd have to sell my house hahahaha.

It's all fun and games till someone loses and eye.

 

[NICE59FORDF100]

I can haz updates? I know you have some

 

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Ok ok,

So I have two new updated on the Kermit Bandit. Ill start with the body work.

The core support isnt going to be seen but I still did not want it to look pieced together.

So a little sanding, bondo, primer, and wet sanding. I had the welds cleaned up, looking decent and ready for some paint.

I bought a little bit of the correct color in a single stage paint. No sense in wasting my time doing base/clear on a core support.

Over all I am ok with how it turned out. If it was an out side body panel I would have taken more time and made it look perfect.

Second update....

The Interior got a lot of attention as well.

After I was done cleaning the carpet with purple power and water hose and let it dry in the Texas heat. I re-installed the carpet

The seats were cleaned with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, Then used Leather conditioner, here are the rear seats installed.

Very nice work Kris! Kermit is going to turn out great.

 

[NICE59FORDF100]
