[NewType72]

2. Moving onto the past couple night I now have around 26 hours or so with the finishing of the 60 grit on the backside in the valley's of the grip, (( WHAT A PITA THOSE ARE I'll be honest )) now I got ready for the 180. I know big jump and it really showed as I was out of 120 and the vinyl/plastic really clogged the finer paper but I did start pulling a nice smooth finish out of it compared to the deep ruts from before. I also am showing a previous step as I removed the barely visible grain texture this time. I felt it wasn't doing much for the wheel if it wasn't all the way around like it should be. I want to look into recreating it on another wheel in the future possible and make this one a sleeker "sporty" design compared the the higher end grain style's kind of like Deluxe/custom vs. Cheyenne Super. Anyway laid down a couple hours of smoothing nixing the grips this time as I wanted to lay more epoxy later to see if I could solve some popping issues in the paint. Then comes the epoxy you can see I put down some tape to rebuild the "body line" on the top of the hub. I'll show more tomorrow as it has to set and then be sanded to show the more dominant lines on top. That's all for tonight as I'm starting to feel the hours of a day job and no rest over the holiday weekend set in. Stay tuned
