That is "in the real world", wanting perfection for a show job, that's different.

Show truck? we'll see... You can't see much in this view, but there are a few weirdities if you look closely. Front corner of door is rounded, door jambs smoothed, one-piece side glass, trick wire loom holes (idea stolen from Ogre), lip for carpet to tuck under, No outside door handles (or inside ones), smoothed the dash, funny holes in the top of the dash to handle the center channel of the 11-speaker stereo... CHMSL, power antenna hole, drip rails shaved, custom A/C outlets, box in headliner for head unit and equalizer, de-chromed custom console brackets...

Oh yeah, what did I do today: I'm shooting clear right now. Coat 3 coming up...

Oops. Forgot the picture. Here it is.

Also, I did de-nib the base coat. Scuff and spot. It was easy and worked perfectly. I'll always do this from now on.
