    WEll, at the age of 22, I swear my hair was going to fall out!

    This was my first complete correction with my new found rotary skills. The truck was rough before i started, abd was washed with dish soap and hard sponges its entire life...wasnt a pretty site

    I had some major difficulites with this truck, but finally got the tehcnique down and proper, and came out with great results. I ahve well over 25 hours into exterior! It was a step learnign curve that sent me bakc to square one a few times! Lessions Learnt!

    All the curves and angles really made it challenging

    Anyways, I dont have to many pics, as I just finished at 10:30pm with it, but i will get some outdoor pics tomorrow!

    Heres a few befores, sorry i dont have any identical afters of the same panels, but this gives you an idea of what I was dealt.
