Well after a few long days. It's all cleaned up and ready to go. Few more weeks and I can do some wet sanding. Then do a cut and buff.

Beautiful car mang, I really mean it. I'm not a fan of blue, nor do I like cleared lenses, but this car pulls them off beautifully!

Thanks Super82...........

Yes I did paint the under side of the hood, and I have all that jams painted except the door jams. I am gonna pull the doors off and do them right before I start wet sanding. LOL looks like i need to take a few more pictures. here is the hood in primer.

the paint looks great!

I am not a fan of the cleared out lights. I like the AMBER and RED look. But hey each to his own. The car does look fantastic...and yeah I personally would lower it more...again personal preference.
