Hi Jim,

i haven't peeked in for a look at Jimbo's truck for a few days...the chrome accessories on the engine look like they float with all that red surrounding them...your urge to peel off the masking asap to expose the shiny stuff on the air cleaner made me smile (i've been ripping off masking prematurely since i was a kid)...,lots and lots of red...and chrome...and black lines...and wheat colored interior.,.,.and smoothed out body.,..,tune in tomorrow, folks, for the next episode....

Jim

What is the blue-ish colored filler you put on first in small quantities, is that fiberglass filler?
