Default First Pics! plus Menzerna and wolfgang!!

Been working on it a few panels at a time. I've done the entire left side, hood, right front and right door. The left door and rear fender need a little more IP. I still need the RR, front and rear bumper, B pillar and wing/deck area. In the pic of the B pillar (or whatever it is between the TTops and rear glass) you can see some of the swirls. Its hard to get a good pic of them and keeping file size down.

Oh and on the hood pic, it looks like a huge blur in the middle... thats a cloud.
The front fender reflection is dust etc that settled while I was snapping pics. It was windy as hell.

Let me know what you think.

SuperBuick, I'll make sure and get you some large pics of the pillar under some good lighting (such as a gas station) thursday night. Just to prove the Menzerna.
