Looks great Dan!! Very nice work!
I don't even want to think about it yet, as I know how much work it'* gonna be...but I have a feeling when I begin to run out of things to do on my car, I may be doing a similar project like this of my own. Can't let you have the only bad *** looking car lol.

Yippy, I'm done.
Rolled the hood back to the shop.
Got it all fitted in place. Didn't take much to line it up, I've done it enough times.
Put the grills in place.
Looks mean.
I have a lot of wet sanding to do, you can see a big sag in the clear coat on the right side of the picture. I got the clear real thick so I have plenty to work with.
A shot from the back.
Gave it a good wet sand. Here is after about 15 minutes with some Megauires 80 polish with the porter cable polisher. That stuff does a great job.
Now the other side.
Here she is all polished and waxed.
The color matched up real good.
Just looks nasty. Like it wants to bite you.
That big sag is still there, but much smaller. I'll be doing some more wet sanding next week when I have time.
