Absolutely amazing turnaround!!

Thank you!
That is very kind.

Kewl thing...he said quite a few folks honked and waved at the car on his way home.

[John U]

Great save! It appears that the owner was undecided on which direction to drag that box on the fender.

[Sizzle Chest]

Nice work on that black cat!!

[Silly Rabbit]

As always your work is top level. Absolutely stunning finish and shine.
