He's going to 2000.... yep, 2K grit. It's basically a brown paper bag. I feel like I am on Spinal Tap... it goes to 11 man!

So, while the Camaro broke my heart, hiding rust under the paint, the truck is making me happier... granted, my shaved cowl cracked all to heck, but I may go with a carbon fiber shaved one. I got the grill on, the rest of the black cut and buffed and it's shiny!

5.75" LED headights are mounted, but I have to go in an clean up the rear cooling fin cuts...was not my best work there.
