Sell 'em on the HAMB! They love that patina!

Thanks Big Truck Driver & Hot Rod Daddy, yep I send them back today. Of course there's a re-stocking fee but at this point I don't care . Although just from me handleing them it seems to have left 'smuges' on them. Do they get dirty THAT easily? I hope the guy takes them back!

Thanks Pat, so I guess I don't need to say that I know nothing about body work? Dual Action Sander. Ah, but NOW I know

Thanks Jerry, gosh I hate to admit this, you'd of think I'd of learned my lession by now but I got them on Ebay . I should have known better .... Yeah a late night decission. But thanks for the tip on Kathy Yeah when I called the guy to complain about all the marks he tried to up-sell me to a $350 polish job. Maybe this was a good deal, I guess I just wasn't prepared for a 'as cast finish'? So $600 isn't bad? hummm, so if it's a problem w/ returning them I guess I'll just have to pay to have them polished. But like I said above, it seems as if just holding them a couple of times stained them!

Thanks Mike, ah ha, that makes sense! The chips as the bit was turning. Eastwood makes paint? I'll check on that if he re-re-sends them back to me!

Thanks Hot Rod Paint, LOL, why didn't I think of that! In fact, that's what the guy told me; "most of his customers like the 'cast rat rod' look! I'll beat 'em up soon enought, I don't want them to start out that way!!!

Thanks again for all the responses! What would I do w/o you guys! Bill
