Makes a guy wonder if they can even read.

My uncle recently sent me a package from in Arkansas. Instead of coming west to New Mexico, It ended up in New York City. Then several weeks later it was found in Mexico City. Not sure of all the places it went but finally after traveling for 2 months it made it back here in New Mexico. crazy

I'll bet your right Phil.

It just showed up! It's got a nice tan and stickers all over it where it's traveled for the last 16 days. LOL I already have a piece cut and tacked in place. I'm only going to paint whats missing and not a total restore.

No, It's spot puddy. I'll go over it a couple times and then use a Hi Build Primer.

Primed both sides and while it was soft, i took a thinner rag and cleaned most of the way back to the porcelain edge. Tomorrow i'll sand the primed areas and fill a few more spots with spot putty and it will be ready for paint.
