    Holy ****! I get the feeling I should have bought stock in the sand paper companies before you guys started.

    As killer as it looks now, it's gonna look insane when it's done.

    WOW! I thought it was shiny before:eek:.


    There's just something about a car when the body and paint work on it are optically correct.

    Just study the pics. There is a wealth of info to make up your own little tech how-to in your own head...

    Great job guys. This really kinda gives a clue as to how much work is involved.

    WOOOOOOW :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    At first I thought the lace was a little too striking.

    Then after the candy fades etc, it looked a lot more subtle, but I thought it looked a little hazy and 'smudged' from the distance shots.

    but NOW - ****E ! :eek: Its got the CLARITY and DEFINITION as well as the 'blendiness'.

    BUT TELL ME - WHY T F would you lick the sand paper when you could lick that wet-lookin paint ?? (let alone lick carpet???) :confused:

    The car looks amazing outside! You had better drive it to Columbus Kirk, I need to see this car!

    As for a tech, a tech from you is helpful anytime, not just during tech week. I definitely need to learn a thing or five before I flake my little Ranchero roof!

    Keep up the great work!
