    In all honesty I wasn’t sure what it would turn out like but it really is turning out nice. The clear is laying down nice and even.

    Thanks Focker. I got the steel corners. Not because of rust but PO was good at smashing rear corners. I mocked up the steel and the fit is quite good. Sanded down the original corners and plan to attach new ones with rivets. Mine are flat, heavy steel that is thick enough for me to countersink the rivet heads. Before that I will use that costly panel adhesive just to make sure they don't ever shift. Was then going to mill away an area on the flare to eliminate any gaps. BTW, do you have a source for fiberboard? I'm somewhat sure I can make new terminal boards for repairing broken heater switches. Board cannot be conductive and without holes. 1/6 thick.

    I think plastic laminate/"Formica" would work for your boards, Lee. Local cabinet shop or top fabricator should have plenty of scraps.

    Traveling today, but it's a good day for the 70 to get new shoes. 31 x 10.5 with some bite. White rims!

    Backed her out to bake in the sun. Letting it cure then maybe buff it a bit to try and get more shine then to put it all back together again (y)

    Lol! It’s sore! I got one of those Rustoleum spray paint guns and it works great for awhile then the paint builds up on the tip and drips...:steamed: so that wasn’t used very long.
