That didn't happen. We did have a great Overhaulin-style tear down party that left me with a shell of a Falcon.   After a total failure with my first paint job (a long boring story I won't revisit) I had to repaint my wagon, but this time, I wanted a flat paint job using flat clear. There's a bunch of forum-based info on painting with Hot Rod Flatz or using flat clear, but I wanted a trusted source with 30 years of painting experience. That's where Kevin Tetz from the Power Block show "Trucks" comes in. I met Kevin at SEMA a few years ago, and just like you'd suspect, he's...
