Shake the bottle VERY well. I know it's all clear and all but shake it good. Then apply the gloss in slight mist coats at first and then gradually apply the wet coat. After that......put it AWAY for 2-3 days. Don't touch it, mess with it....nothing. Don't even look at it too hard. Remember.....patience is the best tool you can bring to the table.

Work on the interior in the meantime buddy.

The floor pan I would have primed and put body color overspray on, the frame rails gloss black, drive shaft and exhaust steel, and the front and rear suspension parts in semi gloss black, but that's for a factory stock appearance.

You're doing really good on this Lyle!

well, it has been a while. I'd like to curl up and sleep for another two or three ....years. I feel like a boneless chicken in a road race.

Anyway, More done on the engine and on the rear suspension.
