advice on cabnit refinish
#4

Where to start?OK-First thing she is a he.I'm a dude-not offended i get that a lot with a name like kelly.Second-I found a good article on refinishing so I'm set on that.I am very new to the hobby and after looking at the chassis i believe it is well beyond my capabilities.I bought a bunch of aa5's to practice on and the46-1213 was part of the deal.If i didn't take it it was going to the dump.I would hang onto it but i'm out of room/My storage room has a 38-4,42-380 and a 49-1100 all of which i think i have a better chance of restoring than the 1213.Lastly-Thank you for reading my post.Pretty soon i will be posting enough stupid questions to get labeled the village idiot!!If anyone is in the hampton roads va area,i could really use some guidance!!Thanks again!MR KELLY
