Re: 1941 Packard Woodgraining - Take 1

Well, about a week or two ago, I received my kit as well. I wasn't going to remove all of the just completed job, but unfortunately it easily flakes as well. So, I've been blasting parts. I have more to go, but have filled, smoothed, and primered the glove box door and instrument cluster panel. Hopefully I can blast more today.

I also figured out why the glass was cut and the misalignment was on the rear side windows. The top pivot was bent on removal, and then not re-straightened. Also it may be, although not 100% verified, that the top pivot screw holes are not a mirror image of each other. In other words, if I flip the mount 180 degrees, I seem to get much better alignment.

More information for all of you when selecting where to get your wood graining done.

I too am not artistic, so we'll see how this plays out together.
