On today's episode of What Not To Do With Mike or You Could Do That, But Mr. Riddler Wouldn't Recommend It we find our lovable moron using old file folders and bedding to protect his car while doing bodywork. I guess I technically retinted the windows... but, it is a little darker than desired. Regardless an errant tool or weld spatter might not totally ruin all that glass I just cleaned up... or not.
After that I decided to lay out the tools and supplies I'll be using. I've been buying and sitting on this stuff for about a year or so - and forgot where or what half of it was. At first glance this looks all well and good (DA palm sander, a speed regulated grinder with clean and strip wheels, some roloc discs, etc - at least before realizing how badly I assumed and end up spending even more money than I planned on supplies and tools... and razor blades (those are for my wrists).
Remember kids, this going to be a functional refinishing project - it ain't going to be a show car. Manage your expectations accordingly. Maybe you'll get to see me polish a turd later.
