    Default C-Mon restore! My first time!!

    Well guys this is my first restore. It is a C-Mon i got from the bay. I just gave it a light hand sanding and replaced the UGLY scales it had with some nice C-Mon scales I got from a member here. Let me know what yall think. Sorry for the bad pics, the camera on my Ipad sucks (it has a semi mirror finish)!
