This stuff is not rocket science just pick up the tools and give it try...Eric[/QUOTE]

I have to give you a Rep point for that fender. I think I need to buy your video

Kudos to you Mike for your effort.

Now,
I simply "expect" MY work to EXCEED the Manu'f "expectations"
We all have seen their "work".
MAIN reason why we're in the "restoration" business.
IF they had expected their work to LAST,They would done things differently,
BUT,
That would NOT be COST EFFECTIVE.
I have the luxury of doing what I feel is "necessary" and time spent on projects where as the Majors have to crank out "X" numbers a day.
I would likely do as they do if in the same position.
Problem being,
A vehicle that lats 30+ years,OH CRAP,WE'RE NOT SELLING ANYTHING......
The "game" HAS changed and the Majors are SEEING what works and what does not.Finally,Thank God,But who wants a Toyota that lasts.....
Well,Maybe....

Eric, nice metal work on the fender. I have a ton of training materials from when I went through school at WyoTech a couple years ago. Now, if I had to call myself a painter or a metal guy...painter it is by far. So that is where my mind primarily thinks from. Hence the fear of the permanent market. I couldn't agree more with you about practice. It is the only real way to learn, and get good at, anything.

We've missed your posts here and on SPI.
I really appreciate people who are "teachers" and good at explaining things,which I basically stink at, and look forward to your progression in this work.
Reguardless of how "novice" you think your vids are,they still drive home the point and really,the more "basic" they are,the BETTER.

Mike, thanks for the kind words!!
