Headstock - no machines
The Corpse - gutted
Where the 'brain' used to be

The Corpse - rolled over

finish all gone!
Yep - It's going to be orange!
Nope - Orange does not look good to me at all!
Taking of the orange...
...I hate taking off paint...
For those hard to sand places...
...like the horn-pits...
cooler is empty
After using 220 - a little smoother. It really needed a lot more sanding. Not only was orange a bad choice, it was put on way too soon.
It just keeps betting getter! Sanding makes all the difference in the world.
Now with 320
Better...
ok... focus, focus...
When the flash doesn't fire, the ghost of the orange paint job haunts me.
Boo!
Hanging it up for tonight. I plan to hit it again with lots more sanding tomorrow. (June 6, 2007)
Newly stripped, sanded and primer'd
Moved spray zone to the corner. Now I can actually use my back door.
A fresh coat of Antique White
I played with Picassa's filters on 'bad photos' - Picassa is pretty damn cool for a freebie!

Finished with the finish.
