sigh the cold sucks my fingers are frozen solid an bondo/fibeglass are drying to slow now try baroing an electric heater or a hair blower(dryer) or I guess you could wait for a warm day, if I could pray I would have had for a sunny day, but if you feel the weather wont let you continue the project we will understant if you put it on hold for a couple of weeks/months , unless you cou;d borrow a friends garage or something, next summer go to car clubs and shows and make some friends that share the same passion for cars like us, and ask them to let you work in their garages every now and then you know and just get them a couple of bears or something and maybe do them a couple of favors a or help them with anything, I've made really good friends on shows and they are really nice people. you should give it a try. best luck and hope for a warmer day and as desperate as I am to see the project done, I will wait and man if you onle lived closer I could have hooked you up with my cousins garage! he said that whenever I want to do anything to my car that his doors are open and he has a really hot heater in there, all you have to do is move close to paterson NJ and I can convince him of lending the garage to you. -------------------- waiting for LEDs for next project WOW recieved the LEDs, just tested a set up on a breadboard and I can barely see anything lol. I think I'm closer to being blind !! |

Would love to see some pics of the damage so we can see your good work when its done again... -------------------- You're here for a good time, not a long time. - Colin McRae When in doubt...
