A month ago I hoped I would be shaking down this car tomorrow.
I suppose I am eating humble pie, which I am proud to admit tastes delicious.
The skills I have learned, confidence gained and personal growth I’ve experienced in the passed couple weeks is invaluable!
After the highs of cutting, welding and grinding last week to the reality of paint this week. I was under the impression that paint would hide small imperfections. Not! Quite the contrary in fact. It amplifies them, every last wrinkle, standing proud, cutting that freshly found confidence to shreds.
Fortuanately, “it’s only paint”, nothing that cannot be reworked and repainted. Multiple times. An iterative process which I’ve become intimately familiar with and for now I am provisionally happy with the results. That is, until the truth serum speaks reveals otherwise. Again!
