    DONT DO IT!!!! That is a shucks helmet. The whole underside is crushed and the top is warped. Thats why you never see it from any other angles... A buddy bought one and regrets it badly. Seriously, he threw it in the trash. Also its not fiberglass, its resin and dirty resin at that.

    Yeah we'll use the glazing putty. But first a coat of primer

    No Hovi's yet.

    Kent has decided on this style helmet for himself. I will do my best to make it happen buddy.

    Now I take it outside and give it a nice thick clean coat of primer. I will let this dry for a while and then we will start smoothin' her out. This is going to be a nice bucket. Thats all for today.

    I notice that the ears seem under trimmed as well, so I will address this issue. Its nice that things are under trimmed though, at least we can fix that easily

    Now its time to do a light wet sanding on the whole thing so I can primer it and sand out those runs that Kent was showing in his original post.

    I noticed that the cap is not full cut off the face plate either, so off she goes!!!..

    One of the first things I have to fix is the eyes... They are under trimmed and a bit of a loose pull. I take a pencil and mark where I think the trimming should be for an ANH helmet. Using a large x-acto knife I carefully trim along my lines that I drew. After I cut everything to shape I hit it with some 80 grit to smooth things out quickly.

    Its really not that bad of a bucket. Overpriced? YES....Bad quality? no.... Just needs a little TLC. I start off by stripping it down and tearing off the stickers...
  17. TK-4510
    Just some reference pics of the helmet before I tear into it.

    OK, so here we go. I got the helmet today. We had some real serious import issues to resolve but we have cleared those. I wanna start off by saying that whoever sold this helmet to Kent should feel pretty sorry an impolite person right now. First he overpaid for the helmet, then had to ship it to me and then pay an import fee..... $630 so far. Sleep well...... Anyway lets begin!!!!

    gotta say it..... Looking very nice. Nicest CE yet!

    Over time ABS yellows anyway...
  21. TK-4510
    I think so. You can use WD40 on stubborn scuffs sometimes too.
  22. TK-4510
    good to know!

    They all fit with enough shims and some vasaline! I am 190 and 5'8". I can just squeeze into an AP with 1 inch shims at the abs. I wear a 38 waist too!!
  24. TK-4510
