Here are a few gauge shots as well as my finished trunk. I took the gauge shots just because I thought they where cool. Thanks for all the help you guys gave me along the way. Now it's time to put a few miles on her before winter hits in St. Louis

Fine job.

Nobody who has done this themselves ever complains about the cost of a proper paint job.

great job shark, I am sure there are many who would pay you nicely to perform that 1/4 and trunk install on their cars.

My first thought was also, "Damn that guy should have safety glasses on" when I saw the photo of you in the trunk with the grinder.

Damn I am turning into an old fart!

VERY nice looking work tho, inside and out.

If I remember correctly the no glasses thing was for photo purposes only, thanks for your concern though, thats not my normal practice. I've had metal in the eye before and had the pleasure of having drilled out.

It is thoughts like this that has you able to still "see" the picture and make a "young man" comment after working around cars for a long time.

"Safety, Quality, then schedule"

Who am I fooling, I don't have anything that even resembles a schedule!
