Been kinda slow with the 53 lately and this didn't help. Remember my rear fenders that I had finished up? Well it was a nice day outside today so I opened the garage door to let the sun in and it was shining nice on my rear fenders. I looked over and thought what the crap is that. Turns out that the epoxy that I used to fill up the rivet holes was said not to shrink, but it sure as heck expanded. Two rivet holes showed up like a sore thumb, but at least it was before it was painted. So now I drilled out the rivets and put a stove bolt in instead and welded the head and put a nut on the back. Sorta like a stud now. needless to say, the fenders are no longer finished.Seth
