Re: monogram 57 chevy nomad .... finally finished
well the time has come where i felt the need to finish this build.
i opened the box and examined the damage i had done.
both bumpers were off.
the front axles were off.
the radiator and battery were off.
one seat had broken out.
and the worst....
the scratches on the roof.
first i looked at the roof. i sanded gently at one spot and it went away.
relief.........it is just the clear coats that were damaged.
so i gently sanded them and took care of the scratches. i then gently cut the body off so i could reattach the seat. then i reattached the tub to the body, the body to the chasis, and let it sit. when dry i reattached the front axles and the radiator and battery. when all was dry i reattached the bumpers. all told about two hours of repair work. i then used future and brushed on the first of the new clear coats. when nearly dry i repeated.....and then a third following the same amount of time.
in the end here she is.
she is moving on.
thanks for following along.
