We had another beautiful sunny day, a good excuse to spend the day outside. Even if it was on my back underneath the bus.
So if this was Clint talking.... this would be the good. Got most of the final rivets in for the lower curved portion of the replaced panels.
A tricky business this curved panel thingy. Just when you think you have a system and all is running smooth. It'll jump up and bite you. This would be " The Bad" Every thing was going great until I cranked the tie down straps one last time. I also didn't get out and look....or even run my hand over the skin. I was cocky and a dumb ass under the bus assuming that nothing could go wrong. It looks terrible, but I think if I drill out the rivets I may be able to salvage this. I was so discouraged when this happened, I moved on to another challenge (see the last photo)
And yes.... you guessed it. This would be "The Ugly"
But do remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Ahhh yes, the next can of worms. I removed the rear bumper, I want to go back to the original style. And of course once the bumper was off....well then the bumper skirt has some dings in it and it will be easier to smooth out when it's off. (famous last words)
