funny you mention that..(fibreglass repair) agreed.. it is a PITA...
When my cousin (a bodyman of 25+years) and I were fixing the stress cracks and other noticeable rough spots... I was mixing the hardener sparingly to the resin... and it would take a bit to cure... so my cousin.. getting impatient says.. put more hardener in next batch... I asked how
much more.. he said until it smokes... lol...

Again, another Bowtie I had at one time, A 55 Chevy 3100 pick up. I actually had 5 of these until the car crushing crew took them from where I had them stored. I never totally got over that one...

Between classic muscle cars, a badass lifted K2500 RCSS, and a John Deere bulldozer it looks like you know how to party!
