Finished wet sanding and buffing the hood. Looking much better!

You did a nice job with this thing. IMO your taste in vehicles is GradeA, it's the subtleties that make a vehicle great (I.E. the silver lip on the rims). Exception of course is the appropriate striping, not subtle, but beautiful lol.

But even just the flares added to the "flow" of the body lines. I can see this thing ending up in a magazine if it goes to the right show (especially if it's next to a certain vette at said show...)

2000 grit and then the 3m three step buffing process

Looks bad ***! Now I don't know who used it first, but to my recollection the GS vette had the hash mark first, and now you see all the SRT Dodge vehicles using the double hash

Are you stopping at the flare? or going over it? I don't know which I'd prefer... Stopping at the flare would make the flare "pop", while going over it could cause a problem with the flare not being a permanent body part... hmmm.

I was curious also if you were stopping at the flare or not I think it might look better to run it that way.

you think the Tyclone will be ready for the beginning of August Greg? there's a big show in NY the 2nd weekend, & i'd luv to get pic's of it & my brother's Dime (it'll be the debut show for his Dime's extreme make-over).
