I removed some of the bits and pieces and then rested the trottle on top of the housing to get a feel for what it will look like. At 49 bucks... I'm not going to complain at the quality of this piece. I was lucky to even find one at this price! I'm hoping to find 4 knee pistons from the C3PO costume. Those will be the throttle knobs. Anybody? Help? ; )
Thats it for today. Its too hot... I still have errands to run and a mess of other things. I'm hoping to have all the dang holes and splits filled tomorrow along with mounting the support to the console itself. Once all that is done I can begin sanding, prepping and finally... painting!
I do have a formica question: Does anybody know what I can use to fill in the holes around the edges? I've tried formica filler, wood filler and even a 2 part epoxy but the holes keep reappearing. Any help would be greatly appreciated! See below for sample:
Hope everybody is having a great weekend!
