That blasted foam padding!!!

Short Post...

That freaking padding that I used to protect my chassis while raising the gas tank in position did not play nice.  recall the frame looked something like this:


Well, for any of you thinking this was a great idea, be forewarned!  I used two different lots of material, one being new and another being old.  The old stuff came right off, nut the new stuff stuck like glue to some of my parts.  it did not adhere to the painted chassis (Thank God) but stuck to any of the parts I painted myself.  So I had to spend hours carefully cleaning, rubbing and scraping little dots of material from the springs and the e-brake drum.  Luckily what's left is barely detectable.  Any hope of winning a beauty contest is but a lonely memory... boohoo.
