Hopin to get home early enough to shoot both sides a the hood tomorrow, with all that space I still couldn't get enough room to add the hood into todays mix, but I did clean & prep it, so I only need an hour or 2 to get both sides! [smilie=e: Rich.

[smilie=e: Didn't happen, had to work! [smilie=e: Rich.
 
Finally got a couple a coats a high build on that hood & a few other parts, hope we don't get high winds tonight, my classic wind chimes will get all dinged up! [smilie=e: Rich.
