unamed mame nearly done

A while ago I came in and mentioned that I had gotten a pair of free cabs.

One of which I found was a rallyX cab which had been gutted, abused, neglected, and inseminated with... River Patrol


Just about six months later here is where I'm at. I wish I could say that I had more pics to show the process but it seems I'm pretty bad at that.


Now all she needs is some art and some software tweaking and she's good to go.

I agree, very clean, nice build. Excellent!

i can't beleive you painted over those sides


looks great

[JazBrown]

Yeah I know!

I totally blew it by painting over that gorgeous custom side art!

Those sides were a complete pain! whatever it was, they did it in latex and latex just softens and balls up when you sand it so I spent a hell of a lot of time getting it off before I could even think about patching, priming, sanding and finishing.

thanks for the kind words all!

Oh!
Also something I wanted to pass along. The lighter black areas there (front panel and inside the cowl) were really rough and I was having a hell of a time getting a really nice and smooth finish.

Sooooo I went down to the local hardware store looking for an easy solution and I found it!

This stuff here

The fact that its textured really helped cover and hide imperfections and it's also a very fine metal flake. Two coats of that stuff and two coats of clear to smooth it out a bit and I was very happy with the outcome.

I recommend it for anyone who is too lazy to get an area down to perfect.

I wouldn't do a whole cab with it myself but that is just personal preference.
