well i forgot all about the helicoils until the end of class when it was too late. but i aske my teacher and he said he had the drill in his truck and was just waiting on me. i might be able to get to it tonight depending on if i get really frustrated with this door.

and the paint brand i use is Nason's (dupont) i think the problem was when i shot the primer it layed down pretty good but when i baked it real quick so i could get to sanding it quicker it started to crack. plus i didn't realize until i started mixing the primer that it wasn't primer/sealer. from what someone told me since it was just regular primer and i baked it, it i guess shrank or something. i'm gonna try to salvage the primer tonight but if i can't get it for some reason i'm gonna buy some straight sealer and spray that on there.

drive down here and bring it to me= $200 gas, material=about $300 depending on color, my cost for a woo member=$100 so thats still a hella deal for it.

so im guessing you dont get that much into repairing frames? right now im learning how to striaghten frames with a universal measuring system and also with a laser system.

lanos2001 · Post by **lanos2001** » Sat Feb 11, 2006 5:44 pm

we have a frame machine at the school. and i should be using it in a few weeks when i straighten out my friends kia. its not all high tech now with lasers but hell what do you expect from a class that i only pay $240 a class.
