    Default C-Mon Cadillac

    Get this a while back, it had a bent inlay, (a DING more so)
    Figured I could straighten it out no troubles, make a new set of CLEAR scales for it and transfer the inlays over...

    What a PITA! I don't know how people work with plastic/plexi glass/lexan.

    It is SO HARD to get it crystal clear!

    Anyways here are the results after MANY nights of hair pulling and re-sanding/polishing:
