Droptine's beautiful work! '62 K-Mag refinish pics
« on: October 15, 2008, 11:45:00 PM »
A while back I purchased a '62 Kodiak Mag that was just in so-so condition cosmetically...otherwise very sound. When I first saw it, I thought it had potential so I sent it to Droptine (Rich) to work his refinishing magic. He came to me well recommended.  Well, he exceeded even my most optimistic expectations.   I think the results are nothing short of fantastic!    :notworthy:   Thanks, Rich!  Here are the before and after pics. (I was going to take my own, but don't think I could do a better job than these).

Outstanding work.     :notworthy:  

Now I know who to go to if I need to get one refinished.
