Title: Droptine's beautiful work! '62 K-Mag refinish pics
Post by: Red Boar 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).
