the arch has still got to be perfect so i can take a mould off it & get a perfect arch out that just needs paint
all i got to do on richies is clean & prep inside the prime, seal ,flat ,base coat & laqour .then it will go off to get the out side painted

i done a refurb on them 2yrs ago so they were not that bad really ,i stripped the paint off using a knotted wire wheel which is very good at ripping most things apart underseal included but they are bloody dangerous i always use goggles with a face guard on
