Wow .. I like those. Never seen them (?) Are they new?

Still undecided

Jonathan (VA72C10) came by the house last night and hung out for a while checking out the GMC. My BB truck is up at my dad's house about 45 min away so he couldn't see that one .. but maybe next time. We went to dinner with the family, fun night out in the big city of Cleveland TN.

I got quite a bit finished up on the ole GMC this weekend. The paint is coming up really good. Pics below ..

1) The peel I'm working with (uugh), 2) door vs. finished bedside, 3) finished bedside closeup, (4) and 1500 pass on the door. I'm still going over the door again with 2000. It really helps with the final buff to compound 2000 scratches rather than 1500.

I have all emblems, door handle, key / lock, mirror, etc... All off so I can get a clean buff on it. I'm by no means a pro at this but for old, dead, black single stage I'm pretty stoked.
