904-090
May 13, 2005
While
090 is sitting next to its cousin, waiting for assembly...
Jack and
I are preparing the insides of the tail for final primer.
Jack is on
068 and I am on 090. You can see the white polyester filler
on my tail. This gets rid of pinholes and small imperfections
in the original trunk housing. This material sands very easy
and leaves no pinholes. After a week of working on these tails,
Jack and I are ready to rob another bank. We figure if we get
caught, they'll never be able to identify us by our fingerprints...cuz
we have none left. The attention to detail in these 904s is
by far more than they were originally. We do leave character
in our workmanship, but it's hard for us to leave the surfaces
original because they are so bad. We try to find a happy medium
so the customer knows he has a nice part, but not perfect. This
means those who restore their 904s leaving the inside surfaces
original, are doing a great job for the originality of the car.
Most 904 owners want a little nicer look than original.
