This is another long one; in one part this time. There were several challenging aspect to this repair: First, the size. It was difficult and time consuming to dismantle a not-so-well-done previous repair. Also, I had to work on this with the top still attached to the base for the whole project, meaning it wouldn't fit into my spray booth or my hot box. The iridescent finish was a bit challenging as well.
I Left out the music backing tracks on this one. Let me know your feedback on whether you prefer videos with/without music. This is also larger than most of the repairs I do. I limit the size because I just don't have the room for more than a couple of this size in-house at any given time.
Thanks, as always, to Ellen Wight for her camera work as well as her able-bodied assistance.
