Hang in there Rusty, think about those long summer nights, arm out the window, cranked up highway tunes sitting at 75 just humming alone in your completly restored Cuda. Will be sweet mate, just bide your time mate, bide your time.  dupe thumbs patriot ;D wave

Just when things were lookin good ole murphy came to visit the project again, got home from work & the wife says "is that thing you painted supposed to be hanging straight down" I say no, grab a flash light & go out, the fender is now on the ground :(  looked it over a little, 2 dents on the top, a lot of marks all around too dark to really access the damage, damn, it's been hangin there all summer, falls the day after I clear it!  >:(
Looks like the body shop is reopening! ::)  Rich.

Well Rusty, at least you know how to fix it and don't have to pay someone else to do it...that would have been a very expensive unfortunate incident mad .

Well, weather I pay someone or do it myself it's still overtime ;)  most a the scratches sanded out, got the putty on, not a whole lot they were not too deep, but had a problem gettin the primer to stick, sanded it again today & will try the K36 next week(supposed to warm up a bit) . still have not decided  what to do on that little split ???   Rich.
