OCD is a terrible disease... at least Covid 19 lets me stay home and nurse my illness!

    As I suspected, last night a group of bored leprechauns decided to hold a tap dance competition on the roof of SASSZ...
    left me with some work today.

    Ooooo so much progress! LOL. Can’t see any difference in the pics from a week ago. The difference is the panels are now flat! Hoping to get hi build sprayed in the next couple of days.

    You have to walk around the car with your eyes closed to find the low spots. The hand is very sensitive and can find flaws the eyes miss.

    FAIL REPORT:

    So somehow I managed to dent the fuel tank after I mounted it. I think I lifted the front end and the jack might have been below the tank. Either way a nice rectangular dent about 1/4” deep was in the left side of the tank.

    Sanded, filled, sanded and resprayed in satin black. No pic of the dent sorry.
