Will do! Thanks.

And never mind commenting on my build let's get cracking on this one. Got time to lean, got time to clean.
Now that we know that.... What have we learned?...

Will be getting back with you tomorrow Lyle. It was just nice having a couple of days off from the last few months. Didn't quite know what to do with the time so.......I merely relaxed. lol

Well, Joe...it was a comedy of errors. Played with the 350 for a few minutes. I don't care much for it. But, I will keep after it and work with it. Trying to open up the nozzle, the locking ring took a hike. Took 5-10 minutes to find it. I did come across the missing amber wall panels though.

Anyway, here it is. Left side needs some sanding and repaing. See a run on the left front by the hood opening. Otherwise, I can live with it. Get it wet sanded a bit, chrome bits added, it will look fine for the first one.

yep, it tipped over in the booth.

So, Bob...here we are. It will cure out for a couple of days, be ever so lightly wet sanded, touched up and then after another rest, clear coated.
