    Thanks guys! I just came in for a snack. Man those bottom side panels are a PAIN IN THE @SS! :giggle: I have one side done :thud:
    Oh... I stink at taking pics too. I tried to get some to the light like you guys do, but my camera would not focus right.

    I feel your pain Tonya...I had a hell of a time yesterday trying to take pics. Makes me wish I had an old school 35mm manual focus film camera. Good job on the hood!

    Nice... now you are having fun!!

    Just take your time, break the polish down and do a good wipe down with 50/50 IPA and water since I am sure you have that around..

    Being that you have a light colored car look at it under a few different lighting sources.. light colors are a pain.. Give me a black car any day over a light car!!

    Use your brinkman.. and dont you have dual halogens? I remember you bought some if so use those suckers!!!

    Waiting for the rest:popcorn:

    Looking great.

    Do you have a small rolling stool for the lower panels? I find that it helps A LOT. You can usually get one form $12-$200, depending on how fancy you want it. :)
