Thanks mate, yeah I'm really happy with it, almost no visible dust etc in the paint which considering it was done in a pretty dusty/dirty environment came out really good.

I'd say it's easily an 8/10.

If you find yourself peering into the garage a few times a day then I think you've done it right.
Hats off to the effort, I wouldn't know where to start on a job that big!

Hahah, yep I must admit I do go out there with a beer and just stare at it at times.

I've ended up sending those photos off to get turned into a framed print for my office so I don't have to go to the garage :)

I think that's standard protocol isn't it? I know every time I build something or paint something it needs to get the stand back and stare at least a few times.
If you have mates help with the project then you all stand back and stare.

I've even seen solo projects that mates come over, stand back for a good old ganzer.

Potato shot as the bonnets not closed and there wasn't much room to get a good angle.

HDT Headlight covers arrived, should look shmick out in the sun, I reckon that really finishes the front end off.

They are the standard VS/S ones, they still fit on the caprice just a bit shorter along the park lamps down the sides.

It's a lil annoying they don't make them like that, but the stripes are what sold me on them not the HDT logo.
