Once again...I think I said that before...the big pics look great. Get it all cut & polished so when that rain stops we can really see it. You know, in the SUNLIGHT!

Polish it before you unmask it all. It makes life alot easier.

.....too late.....lol. we were always taught here to put it together, then buff, idk why, i usually mask the windows and stuff up anyways, compound is a pita to clean!

Driveway Dreams · 04-16-2010, 12:15 AM

It sucks to clean. Plus if you polish before you build, you have less things to catch your buffer pad on.

talked to someone a while back he had darkened his taillights it looked good he used clear over the darkening to protect it a bit getter and get them to shine...... he had a black truck though you might want to go with more clear lights that only get red or orange when the light goes on in it dunno if there available looking like the original lights though

Not to sound like a broken record but it looks great man. You really need some new park light lenses though.

Keep at it man. Maybe you and some of the other guys down there can come up in July?
