it wouldve been nice if there was someone t guide you trough the first parts of it all it usualy takes is teaching someone the little things to look out for and show him when to stop laying the wet stuff on
used to do a little spraying on those realy big trucks couldnt spray those front to back in one go without running a maraton so i got realy good in featering into the former part
i've been out of it for more than 25 years so my first one will prolly suck as whell

try the buffing after the paint has time to dry further usually takes a month or so to fully dry

i got a job again and having fun at it too

idea's for the trucks and the order of things to do are taking shape and get closer to being realized , a few more months and i be able to start building for real

i complete 2 of the trucks intoo running fashion one custom and one basicly stock the thirth will be sacrificed for parts

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
