Goin' there now..............

You know fellas what makes this build so much dang fun for me is the fact that this whole gloss finish thing just keeps getting better and better for me. I am honestly surprising myself time and time again. Some more wet sanding and polishing yielded even more shine. This thing looks like a freakin' red mirror in person!

Note: the two ejector pin marks in the radiator are completely covered up by the chrome grill. The BMF'd emblem went on straight (remember the one I cut from the spare hood, sanded down and BMF'd?) and flush.

When you're done wet sanding to a shine, ya gotta spit shine too.

Pretty much speechless. A magnificent piece of work.

Thanks Lyle and stik! This is turning out a whole lot better than I thought it would so far. Hopefully it keeps going that way.

Good to see you Handi! With any luck I'll fire it up within the month.
