Well the parts that are sanded are down to bare metal. Yes doing the entire hood down to metal would have been ideal... but for $175, I'm not gonna complain.

I am a bit curious as to why you just didn't polish the old head lights rather than putting on the new ones.

He got the new ones CHEAP. He can still re-sell these for at least what he paid for the new ones.

Geez,
Awesome job! Can't wait to see the repainted hood installed.
Interior looks fantastic. Are you going to send "after" pictures to the folks that sold it to you? LOL

In one or two of the angled shots it looks like the Hood Herpes is just a neat little tattoo.

You have truly outdone yourself on this one Andrew! Best one yet! I hope that one day you get your hands on something older and bring it to life like you have this one, however I understand the cost vs reward would be lower. I hope you rake in the dough on this one!
