Insanity's Running Rampant Here With Me

["amc74hornet" <amc74hornet@xxxx>]

My latest dash resto. part is finish painted and bakeing in the dehydrator for a late afternoon assembly today. By now you all know I am a little nut's when it comes to detail. Well my latest part to be finished this afternoon is the ash tray. I removed the face plate which was held on with 2 rivets to the ash tray itself to strip it and paint it to match the dash. The ash tray itself is galvanized but the inside was rusted and pitted and covered with rust scale in the corners and edges. I had a friend sand blast it and I puttyed the pits, sanded it and primed it till it was smooth, painted it silver and put a cote of clear over the silver to make it look like it was galvanized. It now looks like new. No one will ever use it cause you can't smoke around me because of my emphazima or will probably ever see it, but I knew it was there and looked like crap and that would have bothered me. My friends say why do you detail the engines and chassis of the models you build so nice when they are in a case and no one can see it. I tell them it's because I know if I did it or not. When I finish all the parts I will take a pic of them for all of you to see. Later all.
