Re: More COPO Progress
Albert, Can you say something about the process of hanging, shimming, fitting the front sheetmetal....and what steps you took to avoid paint damage.
Thanks

Re: More COPO Progress
Magic work Albert....very inspiring too! . On the removable tape thing, always keep some cheap brand tape around and let it age so the stickyness gets weak....not the good 3M type stuff on paint surfaces unless a color break or stripe edge. . Sticking the tape to clean glass or something else first and peeling it on and off a couple times can get rid of some of the stickyness too. ~ Pete
