Read what I wrote a few times and then give me an apology... it was a compliment because everyone knows how ugly the wheel wells are and you are making them look nice. Good luck, I'm out of here.

Looks really nice. The only thing not blended and smoothed is the bracket for the "hood bumpers". Thanks for keeping the updates coming!

Congrats on some color, even being as high up as you have it, not being on spit, you must have been a mess after painting that underside! Glad to see more progress.
