Absolutely outstanding work my friend! Love your posts:)
 
Chad,
Is there a reason you are using the Rupes 21 followed by the Boss 15?

I'm looking forward to the new shop being complete. Looks very bright, the walls shoulld make it really bright. Part of you must be.a little excited to try out the in floor heat. I'll take 70's in WI or MN in October. You should have an AGO open house:)

Forgot to add, the truck looks perfect. I like using a high power LED (Streamlight Stinger) flashlight. It really allows you to examine every inch of the panel.

Thanks! I actually finish with my G15 the majority of the time and will cut with it on a lot of car too. The smaller offset is better for edging and getting into panel bends like the ones on the box sides.

I'm excited to get the garage completed. Still a lot to do though. :(
 
Beautiful work, Chad. I like those trucks normally but THAT one looks absolutely stunning. And i agree, that workspace looks awesome. At least get the insulation in before winter!
 
Outstanding! A great transformation. So BLACK, wet, deep, and shiny. Nice!

That makes sense on the smaller offset. That was my reasoning for getting the Rupes 15 over 21.

I just picked up some Griots BOSS MF cutting pads and really liked them. How do the Griots MF compare to the Meguiar's MF cutting pads?

:iagree: Well that saved me an hour of one finger typing, pretty much what I was thinking - thank you Sizzle Chest. :xyxthumbs: Love the trucks you guys have but pretty pleased much of our domestic market trucks aren't anywhere near that size! Theres some serious realestate to be polished right there.

Stellar work mate! Beautiful! :props:

I think the Megs may have slightly more cut but the BOSS pads seem to finish a hair better and they feel "smoother" when polishing IMO.

Still need to finish up a few things before insulation can go in. I have it sitting in the next room waiting to be installed though. ;)
