Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy

There are two different styles of adhesive available: a "fast" cure, which provides 10 - 15 minutes work time and sets up in four hours, and a regular adhesive which provides 90 minutes of work time and fully cures in 24 hours.

I used the fast kind, which seems to provide plenty of time.

Incidently, I should mention that this entire restoration is taking place in the driveway. The garage is full of stored collector cars so there is no room in there to get work done.

This restoration is notable for me for a couple reasons:

a) It's the first time I've ever done a cosmetic restoration on an entire vehicle (I've done lots of pieces, and I've done tractors, but never a whole car/truck)

b) It's the first time I've ever done one while it's functioning as my daily driver at the same time

c) All the work is taking place outside, not in the garage

So far I've got no complaints (...or not very many, anyway)
