I'd think keeping the gun a constant distance from the panel would prove difficult for someone without sight.

But sanding and buffing to a glass smooth finish wouldn't surprise me at all.

Well, that's just awesome.

You have a lot to be proud of.
What an incredible amount of work you have into that finish!

I am just catching up on this but wanted to add what is on my custom made front bumper.

My son gave me a fathers day gift tee shirt with a picture of my truck, what it was to look like as it was not painted yet. Note the dual tanks

Re: Brutus's Progress in pictures

Thanks
That was a great fathers day gift even before the truck was done.
I then had to get the plate to say the same thing.
When people ask who did the work I say look at the front plate!

Re: Brutus's Progress in pictures

Oh yea, especially when they show up when you are right in the middle of something and they expect you to drop everything. I dont mind helping, i will do anything for anybody, but nobody seams to be around when i need the help.. And then you have the " i can do it better ones" you know the ones, never turned a wrench in there lives, have to take the car in for an oil change, but they can do it better. There are many of them around here. Mainly the reaosn Nick and I keep to ourselves

I'm glad to help most anyone.
But if they start telling me I'm doing it wrong I crawl out from underneath, place the greasy wrench in their hand and walk away.

Not a word said.
