    Besides that I could brainwash myself into believing, I’m getting lots of experience as I move onto another area as well as jacked up to see the improvements as I go along right now I’m dreading every grinding session .. bob

    Thanks for the hot tip I generally suit up Home Depot, throw away,plastic overalls, goggles mask gloves I’m starting to think maybe I otta strip and repair one area at a time so it won’t feel so overwhelming with constant grinding … bob

    What I really wish is like a twitch, my nose, and it would be all done just joking. I’m looking forward to almost all of it. That’s what we do…. Bob

    And yes, I was thinking the same thing. Leave the nose on at this point to keep the shape also seems to be pretty much the right height. Thanks again for your input…. Bob

    Ooooh Matt,,,forgot to mention my best childhood pal now owns a body shop in Tennessee,,,, I was just talking to him the other day on the phone and told him what I was doing and he pretty much said the obvious as we were discussing… get rid of all the old repairs and start fresh … bob

    This SOB is a lot worse than I thought, but I’ll get her all straightened out. It’s actually a pretty fun challenge but no I did not know it was really anywhere near this rough….. the More I dig into it the more I find and welcome back … bob

    Send my message wondering what happened to him he said he has just been very busy with work and family… bob

    Yeah I don’t know what it is either. I had one crack on me. I just happened to have my hand right on it turning a corner and it cracked right under my hand. It wasn’t even that hot out it was a white 9000 way way back long time ago.
  18. mowerman
    Yes, that’s the plan and no Matt I do not know anyone I have worked with it a couple of times before but yeah I’m definitely grinding off anything loose and starting fresh. Thanks for your input.bob

    My God ain’t no doubt there, bud

    Thanks for that but yeah that’s exactly what I’m going to do fiberglass outside and inside. I’ll probably gonna have to put a little sheet metal pieces in to hold back since some of the spots are completely bare. I need suppling back there to hold the web. Thanks for the tip but I have not bought a can of Bondo and 30 years really didn’t know where to start. I already got a small fiberglass kit to get started from Home Depot. also need to go back there tomorrow night to find another sanding device. That tiny little drillbit is taking too long to go around the contours. And yes, I am looking forward to the fun challenge of reshaping everything … bob

    Oh yeah, bro the more I dig in the more I find I had a chance to buy a nose off a an old trans con U model around 15 years ago 500 bucks. I passed on it because it had some damage on it as well. I’m starting to think I should’ve bought the damn thing I could’ve got her cleaned up a little bit easier than this one ha ha. oh well more of a challenge, my friend. Bob

    I was actually watching for Xena from Florida and besides, I didn’t notice you without your big red tea 800
  25. mowerman
    And yes, Paul the more I dig into this the worst it looks. It’s becoming a little more of a project than I thought, but we’re getting it done. You might be sleeping now. ….
