Body work

Not to bore everyone with body work pics...but unless you've ever done a car to a true show quality paint job, the amount of hours and effort in endless body work is rarely realized.

I liken posts like this to the fundamentals of sports, Tim Duncan for example. Without those fundamentals the product is garbage, but with those fundamentals you make it look effortless to the point of being overlooked and always producing an out of this world product. You are doing exactly that in all of your posts. Keep up the impeccable fundamentals!

WSSix 09-09-2016 12:25 PM

You guys are doing great work. Good luck moving forward!

MetalWorksClassics 09-16-2016 11:47 AM

Thanks guys, we appreciate the input, and the understanding of the process.
