Great memories.





Decided to spend some cash on the truck

After the effort and cost put into the wheels, I did not manage to find another 9 used caps needed, and to be honest, new will be a lot nicer.

Interesting, as always the cost of a purchase in the USA doubles by the time it lands here.

So $19.99 became $41.00 on my driveway.



Original GM parts are even more costly before taxes and shipping.



Sally’s sons car got hit in November in a non-fault accident etc.

The repair was massively delayed and he was unhappy with the finish, so I offered to see if I could trim back some of the runs in the clear (Ended up shaving them back with a sharp blade then hand buffing followed by machine) and also a load of Matt finish, orange peel and overspray.

Masked as much of the black parts as I could get to, then spent 2 hrs at it after washing and drying the side.








Not easy to see, but it both looked and felt a lot better after all the runs with the DA Mop and G3 Compound.



And all that was left when he left was a big grin, and a white stripe.



Now when wants to buy a mop, going halves wit his brother.

Did I create a monster?
