That would prevent her from getting any <i>more</i> dinged-up, but minimize the risk that I might smudge her up or somehow boink any restoration process.

I don't know if it required any super special skill, but she did a really good job (I know she repaired the fingers.). So they are definitely fixable (I assume that's fiberglass?)<br /><br />Get her in "shapemakery" shape again!Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-24373839004363887582021-06-24T14:59:01.161-05:002021-06-24T14:59:01.161-05:00That’s your answer for everything! hahaThat’s your answer for everything! hahaMr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-58017836952694305412021-06-24T14:00:52.366-05:002021-06-24T14:00:52.366-05:00Oh man I love all the imperfections!
