Since “Part 3″ I’ve been able to wrap up the Frenzy restoration. Amazing how all the small final details seem to take for ever. However, the end results are always very satisfying when a restoration finally comes to a close.
Since “Part 2” the Frenzy restoration has been moving forward fairly quickly. I’ve painted the cabinet, removed the spray mask, installed the black textured T-molding, painted the brackets and carriage bolts, replaced the speaker, preserved / installed the Marquee.
Over the last few nights I’ve cleaned out the inside of Frenzy, gave it a light sanding and repaired some minor blemishes w/ bondo. Afterward, I wiped down everything with Denatured Alcohol then one more wiping down w/ Napta and we are ready to paint. Well, not yet… First we need to protect the original near mint side art.
Picked up a Stern Frenzy a few months back and since then have been trying to decide how I’d like to tackle this project. First of all, it’s a very clean specimen. However it’s far from perfect. As you can see, the side art is near perfect.
