Looking good. Let me know if you need any photos along the way. I am happy to help out a fellow fish tales restorer

I suggest getting some more split tubing to clean up the wires inside of the cab. It realy makes it look clean.

polishing is very cathartic!!!

Quoted from jgreene:

Cathartic is the perfect word to describe the feeling of watching the metal transform. Its the most zen-like step in the restoration for me.

Yup, I LOVE it. The hours just disappear when I am polishing metal.

Put a piece of drop dead foam on the striker plate and that will quite it down more and soften the blow.
