2008's started off with a TRADE

[doc540]

My dear old dad had a Smith gathering dust in his nightstand, so I offered him a Taurus 85 and $100.

He swapped with me, but told me to spend the $100 on my wife since she's helping him get a computer fixed.

What a DEAL!

So, what does a man do on New Year's day? FLITZ it, of course!

Great way to start the new year, don'cha think?

Nice gun, nicer Dad and good work with the Flitz.

great job!

I know some people who would be tickled with the "before" gun. But if you are happier with the "after" (and got to ditch a Taurus for a Smith!), that's a great way to start off '08!

What is a "flitz?"

COOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice job, especially how the Flitz makes wooden grips look like composite.

I suggest that now is a good time to give the wife the 100 and ask her to get you some more flitz. Nice pistol and nice work on the finish.

Ok, I totally never would have believed that was the same gun!

[lawrnk]

How long did it take to clean that gun up? (minus the grip job)

[brewster]

While I can appreciate the character of the old gun with the wooden grips, that thar new Smith sure is purty!
