well I sanded and painted the wheel sections black, gonna have to touch it up or redo once I polish the wheels cuz it messed it up.

I also got one wheel done now at least. 3 more to go, took me about 2 hours of work to do it.

I gotta get pics tomorrow or this weekend, I got the wheels done yesterday. The sanding and polishing with the buffer anyways, repainted the black on them, then hand polished them today. They could have been better, my fault for not sanding enough to get all the scratches and marks out of them. Then I got all the stainless rocker trim on today, when dad came home and gave me a hand with it. Good thing about him living right across the street from me.

hmm seems like I haven't updated this in awhile. I got hit around dec. 8th or 2010. Then I added some chrome underhood, and cleaned it up yesterday and put on the chrome strip to cover the holes in the bumpers.

I also had the order for my other mirror get canceled and refunded since they ran out of them, going to reorder from amazon and not the stupid company that sold em on amazon, and lastly ordered these tonight...
