WOW John that shine has some depth!  Those tables in the reflection are at least three or four feet from that car if not longer!  Amaizing work man.

Yup looking at that paint job i can feel my arm muscles aching with the thought of having rubbed that body back and making the body so straight and smooth before the paint actually goes on... man. Its an indication of just how much effort and attention to detail has gone into doing that shine, I could shave in that eh? Yup, when I do my car, I have to admit, I don't think I'll have the mindset to make it that good, lucky mine will be white huh? Wages of Sin, I tip my hat to you, cudos to the cuda  ;) :aussie:

The Shine is INCREDIBLE! Black looks Sweet when it's done right and from the looks of those pics, I'd say you hit the nail on the head. NICE JOB!  Can't wait to see the assembly pics.
