Still Sanding
Created on 2008-05-22 09:52:37
Still been busy sanding down to the original paint/primer layer, applying filler, and final sanding with 320 grit paper. I will be ready to paint once I have the garage swept and vacuumed, have cleaned and taped-off the car.
Judy is making great progress with the rim; she has one polished so well that I can see my reflection in the aluminum.
