Hey Lonzo,

It's been a while since I checked-in here, but man, I'm glad to see you are still at it. Things are looking great and you are as ambitious as ever. I can't believe some of that registration work you are about to attempt on this cabinet art. Absolute insanity in the best possible way. Eagerly awaiting more updates over here.

Special Request: You mentioned...

Quoted from Lonzo:

putting up and taking down the paint booth

...any chance of getting some photos and documentation of this too?

Best of luck with your continued progress on this beauty!

Sincerely,

Quoted from mof:

Great resto thread. Really enjoying it.

Amen.

Quoted from Lonzo:

Here is a picture of a window with a light underneath it to show the "X" value.

Man, that looks so great.

Quoted from Lonzo:

I took the old decals off and started again.

Quoted from Lonzo:

It appears to be just a little to light.

...from the photo, it also looks a little too purple (I can see a bit of red and blue in there). I'm sort of a stickler for color, too ( http://www.elephanteater.com/9720/jubilee-pop-bumper-cap-restoration ), so I appreciate your attention to detail here. Probably 5% of your audience will notice, but we're the 5% that matter.

In all seriousness, this is one of the best restoration threads I've read. Great thought to tap Vid for advice on this. I look forward to more of your updates. Thanks for including a couple shots of your paint booth.

Keep it up, Lonzo!

Yikes! Sorry to hear about the pruning shears.

Thanks for all the explanation on this thread. I'm learning a ton. I'm curious, though; why multiple layers of vinyl instead of vinyl masks and airbrush?

Keep up the great work, Lonzo!

Quoted from WApb:

always love it when this one shows new posts in my favorites.

Agreed!

Quoted from Lonzo:

With my job change, this had taken longer than I had hoped but finally coming together.

Worth the wait. Great work, Lonzo!
