    Wow. Just looked at my receipt.
    My dad used to work for the guy at the place like 28 years ago for nearly a half decade while in High school and then College.
    I asked for supplier discount. I guess he gave it to me.

    Because it says $92 gallon Cp440. Price paid $57.80
    Price for hardener 37, price paid $23.21

    Total for the kit $81.01 :woohoo:

    The guy didn’t even mention it!

    Maybe I need to call that ol’ fart up and say something.

    To be fair. I did order 5 gallons of stuff. 😉

    Here’s more real world look. But not enough sleep, too much coffee and hands are too shaky to hold the phone still. :silly:

    That one is just going to be so messed up, so far back it’s going to be ridiculous…

    Yeah I did some Bushwacker “Cutout” flares for that Bronco II.

    I por-15 and lined them…
    I’m amazed that Por-15 works so well on plastic honestly.

    Yet the crap can’t stick to metal like it’s designed to… :wak

    After working on it for a little while I threw some Epoxy on it to give me a better visual of how it’s going to look.

    Well there were some pinholes, and a indentation on one side

    (You can see near the front side of the scoop in this picture the blue glaze.)

    So I fixed everything I noticed wrong, and blocked the whole hood out with the ol’ 36″ sanding block

    And threw some more primer on it.
    Well that glaze that was on that side rounded out more than I wanted to.

    Resulting in this: (Hard to take pictures of this)

    In comparison to the other side which I squared off:

    [img]http://www.ratstangrestoration.com/DSC00111.JPG[/img]

    I know I’ve got to go back over and correct this.

    But I’m sort of liking the feathering out on the passenger side compared to the squared on the driver side.
    It seems to hide the straightness better. And it looks different, smoother.

    I’m debating on instead of squaring out this side again, if instead I’ll just round out the other side.

    I figure it would be a lot easier that squaring.
    Because with squaring you always have to watch every stroke to make sure the side of your paper isn’t putting a ditch into the 90* angle.

    It would be pretty simple.
    Just do it like seam sealer. Tape up both sides, apply filler between the tape, drag my thumb across the filler and remove the tape. Then just hand sand the edges down.

    But what do you guys think?
    Round it, or square it?
    I know, you all think I’m :wak
    But I just want opinions.

    Getting ready to glass it out to reduce ghosting.
    Abraded it with 40 grit grinding disks went over with 80.

    Some 80 Grit on the DA to feather out the edges.

    Then I went over that with some Fiberglass Reinforced Filler.
    And feathered that out with some Rage gold.
