DRIPTROIT 71 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Looking good! Looking forward to seeing your progress. I started an old M.T.F.A. B-61 years ago, but after cutting the hood loose, and making a replacement hood that I wasn't happy with, I gave up. Keep posting the progress.
LineDigger87 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Posted August 30, 2015 Never give up bud...I used a hobby hot knife and good sand paper... I thinned the hood out because the plastic was too thick...now shes ready for paint
