[BaadAssGremlins] Grill Resto Progress

[AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx]

Finally all the plastic repairs are done on the grill, and all of my
plexiglass re-enforcements are glued in with JB Weld, the 2 part epoxy
The Plastic Welding System and plain old Super glue Gel. What a pain of
a job but necessary to make sure it will not crack again in my life
time. It took about 35-40 hours to do the repairs. It is now screwed
back into the wooden Jig I made and the final sanding has begun. The jig
took about 5-6 hours to make too. It was immediately evident to me that
making the jig to hold the grill was a good idea as it was much easier
to hold while sanding and not having to worry about damaging it. I know
to most of you all this must seem like this is over kill and unnecessary
work but I am a pain when it comes to doing somthing the right way the
first time. I have 8 hours worth of sanding with 320# paper in the last
2 days and I barely made a dent in the sanding. I am removing all the
old silver and flat black paint. 2-3 hours a day for a week and maybe I
will be ready to start painting. Too bad I didn't have a tank that it
would fit into filled with Castrol Super Clean, that would have stripped
off all the old paint and all I would have to do is scuff the grill for
painting. One thing that may slow me down is that the wife is off all
this week for vacation. :-(~~~
