Wow I remember the day's when I could spend months on a single project. To most people it may be hard to believe but like Silver S2K said "I average one step about every two weeks." To get it right you need to take it real slow and do it like it was a real car. Sand, buff, sand, prime, paint, etc, etc.
In the end tho you do end up with a really nice piece.
I did this piece about 3 years ago. No where need what I used to do as a kid, but it's from a set my Mom picked up in Japan a few years before and I finally got around to doing it when she told me I don't appreciate anything
Can't see it in the picture but the Brembo's got the bright red paint job and the dash also got a full set of painfully painted gauges. Total project time was only about 2 months.
