Caseyrhe 650 Report post Posted June 13, 2017 It's a awesome feeling! Even just helping friends or a total stranger you just met at a show or swap meet. I think it's the giving back for me in hopes he or she will share that new knowledge to someone else.

Caseyrhe 650 Report post Posted June 13, 2017 It makes it real easy when I give my brother the grocery list of goods to buy working on his Mach. Then to hear the excitement in his voice with my updates. Makes it all worth while and gradifying Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted June 13, 2017 Redos are a royal pain. If you've got the time to do it wrong, you've got the time to do it right. It ain't rocker science, and most any proper repair these days is on you tube. 1 Ridge Runner reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969Fstback 58 Report post Posted June 13, 2017 I'm still waiting on that "I finished A car feeling". I got my 69 in poor to fair driver shape and started a project for my eldest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted June 13, 2017 I am telling you ,some of these shops ...that are supposed to be (experts) dont seem to have a clue what they are doing. I will have to re do everything they did .the fiberglass has been bonded on with bondo and tiger hair and every piece is either cracking or already fell off.the entire body is coated with bondo ,an inch thick in places and it is cracking. Rusted holes are patched with fiberglass and the rust wasnt cleaned away first so it let go and rusted even more.they didnt even attempt to align the panels ,just filled them with bondo or left them as the were with large gaps. It is going to take a lot to un screw what they screwed up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
