Bad words. Many bad words at high volume. Bummer with a capital B-U-M.
Feel for you mate, that's an absolute shot to the nuts after such a promising beginning.

bugger Chuck you have had no luck with this build. If the cracks can't be repaired you could knock up another body probably quicker than that one as you know all the steps involved. Bodies generally don't like being thrown in the air unless its a major relic job !
That's a shame Chuck I feel your pain.....
Hang on....that wasn't funny at all!
Sucks to hear, Chuck. “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” - Winston Churchill
Thanks for the commiserations guys, but really I'm not overly bummed out. There were a couple of things about that body that always bothered me so I'm looking on the bright side that next time around I'll get it just right! I've already got some body blanks prepared so won't be too much of a hassle to get rolling again.
Oh, and there's nothing like a new kit on the way to make you feel better ;-)
bugger Chuck! :( 1 wall clock comin up I guess
Reckon it's closer to kindling than a clock at this point!Quote:

I feel your pain Chuck. Although I wasn't swinging things around I did bump the fold up workbench towards the end of the micro mesh wet sanding stages only to see, as you said, the body dropping onto it's face on the concrete garage floor in slow motion. 6 weeks later and just about ready to start that final micro mesh job again.
Would have made a good accidental relic job.
Time to get back in the saddle - I've started a new build thread (correctly naming the PBG neck as a N1R this time!)
