Thanks for the comments!

I had six hours in this one.

Bob, I actually did this one a month ago. I just now got around to posting it.

This is the 3rd car I`ve done for this dealer, two weeks ago I had to correct a Black A4 due to swirls caused by the on site company.

I hope they keep up the great work:cooleek:

Ritchie,

About the month to get to the write I understand completly, for the last six weeks I have had plenty of time to hang out on the computer(recovery from knee surgery) and have been closed for all that time plus the weather and the economy have sucked here in Nor-Cal.

I thought I would have some time to ease back into production, as I have been building out my new shop(small but clean pics to folllow) and with the economy......... that all changed yesterday as I booked seventeen jobs in one day, this has never happened not even when the economy was pumping so my posts will probably be time stamped 2:00 am pacific coast time(lol).
