Not Ranked
Many times I've thought "Bugger this, I'm better off paying someone to do it" But then thought about the satisfaction from making a part or a mod that has worked out well.
Body work is just another challenge that requires learning a new set of skills. Unfortunately these skills are something you gain with practice not easily learned by reading a manual.
So If you have the time and patience why not give it a go. So you spend a couple of grand on materials and it all goes pear shaped, get a professional to paint it. It's easy enough to sand it all off. But if you have a go and have a win, hooray! you've learned some new skills and had fun doing it yourself and probably saved a bunch of money.
So back to the reason for this thread...
Les get your camera out and take a few pics of this hacksaw blade technique and share it with us. I'm certainly keen to learn.
I find a hacksaw blade just hand held is a usefull bodywork tool. It's good for scraping off the peaks and dags of filler as it's going off. It's usefull for trimming the edges of green fiberglass.
Cheers
