I've missed you my friend Rasky! Then again, i figured let the weather improve in MN and he'll show up! Phenomenal results and i've always envied your "shop" lighting. Thanks for sharing that work.

Thanks Marc! I think I had right around 20hrs into it. The 2-step knocked out all the swirls you see easily but I chased down several deeper defect for him being a really good client, which required a few extra passes here and there. I also polished the chrome wheels so that added a good hour.

I did take a few months off over the winter to relax and work on the shop a little...back at it now though.

Thanks Mike!

How did you polish the wheels?

I used a rotary for the faces and the power cone on a drill to get between the spokes.
