USMC case

[Spacehonkey]

I've been doing some more work on the polishing.... My fricken arm hurts!

AHH bore baby. Sissy

NO PAIN NO GAIN.

Shut-Up and drink some more water! Now get back to work!

I want to see some blood, sweat and tears put into this project.

Does that remind you of the good old days in the Corps.


Well if you get tired you could always wuss out and get a buffer.

OK I'm done picking on you for now. Great process with the case thus far. You better not quit now.

Ok.. ya got me. But I'm a nasty civilian now. I feel like I'm spit shining this panel, but it's definitely going to be worth it. I kinda like it anyway. There's something soothing about it.

+rep for making me laugh

Yeah you're out now but remember the old saying "Once a Marine, Always a Marine", and there's no crying in the Corps.

Thanks for keeping me in line Spacehonkey. Here's a picture of me buffing out the side panel tonight. Not sure why it's so dark though. Oh well, you guys get the idea.

EDIT: I'm finding out that I didn't do the best job wet sanding the black before clearing. Up close, you can see imperfections. No big deal though. I'm satisfied with it as is. If I'm lucky, I'll be finished with this panel by this weekend, and I can do the top next week. Still gotta get the other side panel cut and painted.

Well, 2nd day in a row I haven't been able to work on polishing. However, I did get to go see what will soon be my house, and there is very good news. The previous owners are about 95% moved out. My mantra for the next few weeks will be "keys at closing".

[SgtM]

So.. I got the window cut today. I didn't have my camera with me though, and the few that I took with my cell phone are horrible, so I'll spare you from having to look at them.

I'd be willing to bet that that pic of you buffing is dark because whoever took the picture partially covered the flash on accident.

I almost forgot about this mod. This log is one helluva read! Two thumbs up!

Thanks Thumper. Ya know.. I wouldn't doubt it if she did cover the flash. I'll have to give her another class on how to take pictures.

Looking good Sgt, cant wait to see it up and running. Keep up the good work +rep from me

[SgtM]

I'm a little upset. It seems that someone may have lost the top cover to the case during the move. I can't find it ANYWHERE right now. I might have to scrap this (I don't have another case to use). I'll keep looking.
