The car looks awesome. Nice job!

7 years old with on 10k miles? Kind of odd for a truck?

Very nice work. I wish I had liked the red jewel as much as I do now when I purchased my black TBSS as I would have gotten one in that color instead.

There are some very low mile TBSS out there. I know of a few with even fewer miles than this one. The sad part is that these will never really be worth anything as they were mostly a GM leftover parts bin vehicle so keeping them original and with low miles won't really help the value all that much. That might be offset by the relatively low total production numbers, but I doubt it.

Thanx guys. The customer bought it from an older gentleman and he has 5 or 6 cars I think, so it is not a DD. Best part is he wants me to do his Camaro SS, Grand National and F250........awesome!

HD Polish and Poxy took it to the next level. Used a light cut pad at a slow speed with polish and let Poxy set up for about 30 mins before removal.
