Long, hot day and lots of clean-up to do and then I can look forward to some more sanding and some buffing.

I built custom one-off flares over the past 8/9 months. Trust me when I say, after this job, I didn't have it in me to repaint the whole car. Repainting an entire car in a garage is one heck of an undertaking. I'll do that another day.

Thanks Jim. Trust me when I say, I'm still not even close to being competition for you. By the time I do everything I need to do to be at your level, you'll be driving a C7.

Looking great! This has to be the longest running single mod in C5 General history. I'm sure the end results will be fantastic.
