Jim sanded the JB weld down.
It looks good, it will just need a little spot putty.
Now for the hardest part of converting these bodys for jero use. Relocating the fender flare back.
Rough cut
After another cut and sanding.
Tacked with thin CA
I did this one different then the last one. On the red truck I seperated the fender and filled in a 1/4 slot in the middle. I'm hoping that leaving it all one piece would be more durable
The truck has some Ca + dead skin marks on it that I'm going to have to sand off. I've gotten that stuff in my eye before to. I was glueing a rim together when I shoved it together. Slam! the stuff sprayed everywhere nailed me in the eye, I had my sunglasses on to. However, the stuff seeps into cracks well which is what I need for this project.
I'm trying some new Clear JB 2 part epoxy I picked up at harbor freight. If you have not noticed the JB weld package says nothing about using it for plastics. Which may be why I have had so many issues with is sticking to plastic.
Jim: French, Spanish, Swedish Oh here we go rough the plastic up.
The epoxy looked like spit, or something else and smelled really funky. So I took care of the rest.
More later...
