    Not a very big update, but after some GREAT help from some GREAT people on here, i started leading the small imperfections. I still have a TON to learn but you gotta start somewhere!!! It's fun though!!:)

    Is Munster going to paint the roof now, or leave the filler exposed?

    That is one fine chop, the lines are perfect and the metal work is an A+.
    Keep us updated.

    Thank you !! Lead free from eastwood!!! I had some problems first since it's my first time, but some fellas on here helped me figured out what i was doing wrong...... TINNING!! I wasn't heating the flux until it turned silver!! I really like it since you can sand it, unlike the original lead!

    Dude, I knew this lead thing would come to you. Just a small bump and your back on track. Progression man, you were born for this shit.
