    Ha it looks like your gonna have to get a clean set of coveralls to wear when you drive that shiny home after workin on the 50!

    Also good thing to practice polishing on the tail things cause i'm sure your gonna have alot more polishing on the grille idea that ya got floatin in your head!

    Keep at it...
