<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=3> Then if it's going to be black we
typically use Bondo to fill gauges,dents etc. Yes, auto plastic type
filler. Since it's black it absolutely doesn't matter what's under the black
as long as it fills & is flat. Bondo doesn't shrink either. Cool
aye? On the corners with busted edges or dents we use wood glued on with Ca
glue. We call this football. It's a slick trick MIke Bingham
shared this with me. post him about it.

filled with ca glue. Any body flippin out yet? Yes CA. Fill the
dent with Ca & spray on the hardner but keep it wet for a feww seconds so
nothing turns white. Let it sit up an hour & Then block sand it
flat & shoot lacquer over it. It will be inviisble. It doesn''t shrink
either.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=3> The brass inlay
name decal means it's German. You can spray black over the entire
fall board once its' prepped...as a base black coat. Sand it flat with
400-600 wet & until the brass shows thru the black. Then finish the
rest of the top coats in clear gloss lacquer. & then rub out as per
usual. Make Sense?</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
