Very nice! This is the same color scheme I selected for a Kimber TLE that I recently dropped and damaged. AllenM has it now and is almost to the point of cerakoting with black graphite. Thanks for sharing. Except now I'm even more anxious to get mine back, even though I did ask Allen to take his time.
After that I blend the lower tangs and the lower part with the b'tail depressed so it will be blended just as you hold it.
)The tangs are going to be left long. I posted a pic of the frame awhile back. It will need to be trimmed to fit. I'm with you on making it blend in with the b'tail not depressed. I've read a few of your posts about 1911's over time on the forum. I may have to ask some questions when I get all of my parts if you don't mind. I'll be sending Fusion an email in about a week asking for an update. I've been trying to keep emails to them monthly approximately. I came back to the thread to check out the pics again today!Thanks, I've been doing 1911 work for a long time and used to do it professionally in MI. Is your Fusion coming pre-cut for a beavertail or are the tangs left long? Getting a good B'tail fit is really just patience, a lot of marking the tangs and filing, over and over until the safety slides in. After that blending the grip radius portion and top. You'll have to decide before hand if you want to blend the top of the tangs beavertail depressed or not depressed. I like the look of the b'tail not depressed as it looks better in pics
truly beautiful work! I think you have tipped the scales for my next purchase. Thanks!(My wife doesn't thank you though)
