Re: 198Plus build
Thanks for all the comments.
Been busy at the shop and haven't had no time for the 57, had some time to today so we cut and buffed the quarters. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...1/DSCN2403.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...1/DSCN2404.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...1/DSCN2405.jpg |

Re: 198Plus build
almost too pretty...i'd be skeered to mess it up :lol:....i never owned black until my '66 & then my S-10, both of which i currently have...luckily both are far from perfect, so i don't worry too much....still gotta love a flawless black paint job though

Re: 198Plus build
I just made the mistake of showing my wife your buffing job....
I think her expectations of me just shot thru the roof. That mirror finish is amazing, I would love to know how you did it! |
Re: 198Plus build
Yup, practice, practice. :uhmk:
