Project "My Happy Mess"

[litew8]

You know what would make me happy? If the owner of that shop came in
here (he says he knows a lot of guys here when I mentioned the site to him)
and was willing to own up to the bad work AND my messed up windshield -
and credit me 3 hours of labor and pay to replace my windshield.

The Fixer "fixing" the undesirable.

Three thin coats of this -




Hardener added -





Each coat thinly applied, let dry, then sanded. I forget, but at least 1/4
or more of what was applied gets REMOVED. Small amounts. Not for
certain if it's always policy to apply three coats, but I think he had to in
this case to conceal the dents they made. We did pull the gas tank out and
hammered the driver's side dents out, and the pass. side we got the bow
to correct. I took lots of pictures, hope I get them all in the correct order.

First coat -















Pass. side. Notice the fix my Brother made to that hole on the
pass. side rocker. He put a piece of metal on the backside of the rocker
and welded it in. Hit it a few times more on the front, then ground down.




Sanding -










Second coat -
















Sanding of second coat -
