sharpen your pencil.
take the shavings and get you a razor blade.
chop shavings up very very fine.
use high quality wood glue and mix in just a few drops
in the shavings.
with a tooth pick fill the holes as quickly as possible.
you wont get a lot in but it will work.
wipe hole with clean finger of over fill. now you
can screw the screws in and your set.
ive done this several times over the yrs and even with
strap button holes. it works.
as far as re painting goes, honestly, your better off
just buying a clean body from stewart mcdonald or warmoth and
going from there. what a PITA it is to strip a body and
do all the sanding to get it to look right.
bodies are cheap. ive done several over the yrs.
even with my background in autobody painting, it is still a PITA.
my next project i'll again go buy another body and go from there.
its just not worth the hassle.
