    Looking really nice, my friend @kalamazoo!
    Indeed, the yellow bands add to the looks!
    Yep, some filling and sanding is ahead.

    Very nice progress, Allan @kalamazoo
    The yellow bands look beautiful.
    Wondering how you will get that gap corrected without damaging the paint to much.
