Man - we worked on the car on Monday and still no updated pics??

Bah, I got some updates for you. Here are some teasers for you... and no, this isn't the garage warming gift, lol.

So far, I've got about 6 hours in just one wheel, although the next ones should take a lot less time now that I got a system that's efficient at removing powdercoat.

How they looked from the start. A nice powdercoat job, but just not the right color scheme:

Gray powdercoat removed and prepped for polish:

All washed up after 3 rounds of sanding/polishing:

Here you go, far from done. Needs some more work and of course repainting the centers, but it's getting there:

Hopefully this will provide some motivation for you! If you ever sell the car, I want these wheels back, lol - my fingers are worn!!
