not too bad, fades real quick tho, but the best part is that I can just spray over it again......

Truck looks great Moose! One question on your dash, did you glue down the weave before you resin'd it or did the resin do the job?

nope, I just roughed the vinyl up with a d/a sander and brushed on some resin, and laid down the weave, and soaked it with more resin.......

Re: My 86 build
Is it a full length grill that covers the headlights too? Also is it fully polished? Or polished on the front and painted black everywhere else?

i love the billet phantom grille!

i wonder how it would look with the headlights tinted to hide them a little. it probably wouldnt hinder the brightness much. seems ive seen people mix clear with a tad of black and spray their taillights with a couple light coats. or you can buy the black out spray tint

they might even sell them smoked.

either way nice grill!

Painting it would be my sugestion as well! Not that it matters, but I'm using a '91 GMC Suburban grill on mine with the billet grill insert in the center. Its going to be painted as well because of the over bling factor.

Thanks for the heads up. I am on the fence between the ctsv, lh8(muscle car), and fbody pans. What stage ride tech setup did you go with?
