Thread: Antique Store find: Red Imp and W & B...Need Help

Hey!, your doing good already!

thanks guys, the W & B will be the next project once my finger heals up. i really want to keep the etching on the W & B, but there is a lot of blemishes that need to be sanded out. any suggestions?

Sorry the lighting isn't that great, but she did shine up pretty good. I think I need to find higher grit sandpaper though, as I can still see a little bit of scratching, the highest grit this has is 1200, hopefully I can find 2000. Anyway, here it is, some progress. I'm definitely addicted.

Wow !!!!!
Great work going on there, Looks like yer well on the way to serious RRD

You are doing great so far! Isn't sanding fun??? Seriously though, it is!

Try looking for higher grit sandpaper(I've found up to 2000 grit) in auto parts stores in the body refurbishing section, or in the auto section of your local flavor of Wal-Mart stores.

On some of your future projects, to save blade etching, at the risk of you spending more money, I point you to this thread .

Hey the W & B looks like total crap! I think you should send it to me to get rid of it.

Nice work,
