Good luck!!!!!
nice job!

Mothers makes that "back to black". Honestly, I used it on my truck, I didnt have they great of luck with it. Didnt really seem to do much for me. I use cover all, spray on interior pieces,ext. pieces, and tires. Its obviously just a shine, so when it rains the plastics dull again. But I to agree, I like the smooth, gloss look.

Made pod so I could use mech ga. for nitrous /fuel and is right in view and tried to make something like the old hood tachs but without putting holes in hood. mounted so needles would be at 12 o'clock when everything where its should be also added armed light so I would see it was ready.also old pics have satin look to finish and a pic from playing in the snow.
