As far as I know, they car is still not completed yet, that's why you usually don't see interior shots of it. But the last time I saw it, it looked very close to being done. Every time I see it he has something else finished on it, but it has a bad door ding that I would think needs to be resprayed. as far as the rims, I will ask some friends tonight they should know.

My "new" lowlight. Overall it is in very good condition but it does need some attention to the small details.

Cleaned up my engine lid grilles a couple nights ago. I used light PSI with #80 garnet to strip out what had to be 8 layers of paint.

And, a little bit of icing for what will eventually be a cupcake. It's a little bent, but nothing serious.

Slide hammers aren't the problem - it's the drilling of a bunch of 1/8" holes all over a panel that's the problem!

Yes, I should have clarified that. When I think of slide hammer I picture many 1/8" holes.
