Popular Post Willie dog Posted February 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2018 This is what happens when you try to do things by yourself. In an attempt to turn the hood over to install the trim and wipe the compound and polish off the bottom of the hood, BOOM. a two inch scratch down to the primer. Good thing I have some blue left over. Note to self and anyone else who is listening, STOP BEING SO INDEPENDENT AND ASK FOR HELP. Rant over. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52651-dammit/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Man that’s a bummer in such a beautiful job. At least you’re handy and can fix it. Could you imagine if you had put that scratch innit and had to take it back to the body shop?! Keep the awesome pics coming.

HarryS Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I know the feeling too, but as HG says you have the skills to fix it. The worst part of taking back to the body shop is explaining how it happened while they do the "eye roll". Keep up the good work. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52651-dammit/#findComment-393119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddeere Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Could be worse . Just take the trim off and paint that half of the hood . On a perfect job like that something like that really sucks. I think most of us have been there . 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52651-dammit/#findComment-393159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 This hobby is so nice to do becase it takes you to pass plenty of difficulties which requires and shows out the best of your craftmanship. And maybe that little loss will protect you from something bigger in the future. Good luck on calming down and continue 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52651-dammit/#findComment-393202 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie dog Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Thanks everyone. It's not a problem to fix, just frustrating. Perhaps I should make a sacrifice to the Old Truck Gods.....my neighbor has a Prius. Just sayin'. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52651-dammit/#findComment-393284 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHfred Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Willie Dog, I called you on Feb 21st around noon to see if it was ok if I stopped by. You did not answer but I would have been glad to help you turn over your hood.

BillyT Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have a long history of being too stubborn to ask for help! Sometimes with similar results! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52651-dammit/#findComment-394300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
