    Exclamation Practice Tip

    If one is new to some of these things, a good way to learn is by:

    1) Practicing on your neighbor's car

    OR

    2) Get a fender from a junk yard to practice on

    JUNK YARD!

    Unless you have a real butt for a neighbor.

    Just funin' with ya, but do see if you can get some body parts to play with first. There is a very good chance that working the neighbor's car will come out ok. But, well there is always that, but.

    OT: See you guys are FINALLY getting some summer there.

    ^ I also practiced with my wife's old Camry. So far, so good. Well, I haven't done anything serious, i.e. wet sanding. But I am going to try wet sanding soon. Wish me luck!

    Re: Practice Tip

    I have an old truck to practice on but I think it will take some work to get it up to the finishing steps that I'd practice for the new car.
