Um, how do you do that? Is it easy? Or instead of asking, should I go search through the forums and find the FAQ for restoring....

Bill Ellis has book on CD that will answer so many of your questions. You can get it from http://billysblades.com/ He explains shows much about st8 restoration.

Ooh, that looks like exactly what I need! I looked around a fair bit on the web as well, and got pointed there a few times. I can already feel the ridiculously sharp teeth of RAD sinking into my leg.... The real question will be, will it hurt my GPA, or just my student debt?
