Moo-yuk! Is -that- how they start out? Now I see why it's so labor intensive to get the shells to the stage you bring them to. How do you 'clear' the shells, Jerry? (If it's a secret no need to respond,) but I'm curious how you get the fiberglass so clear and bright green. It's the difference in color from 'before' to 'after' that I'm curious about.Killer job on those shells bro. Now I can see what a mess they were when you got them. I'm impressed and now I can see how it could take a year of spare time to finish the entire kit.Respect... excellent work.John
These were cleared in old lacquer in the 60's. Now add 45+ years of smoky bars that put a nasty gunk on them. I had to sand down past the gunk and lacquer then clear them in a Polyurethane.
I wiped the inside down with lacquer thinner and destroyed the rags I used.
After all that, you could still smell a bit of the smoky bars.
