Uses 400, 800, 1000 and then 2000 grit sand paper. Polished it with toothpaste then buffed the heck out of it with a little wax. We'll see how it holds up

You know... I'd be really, really interested and thankful if someone were to put together a how-to guide on powder coating... Hint hint!

Wife decided we needed a new home so all my tool and gear have been packed for months. Everyone laughed at me when I said I was going to drive it to the new place 8 miles away, with out a gas tank, lights, plates and just a Gallon of gas under the hood. But boom

First thing in the new house( got in trouble for this)... Temp good, oil pressure good, 20 year old tires a little off balance but didn't blow up and destroy my fenders. 40 miles an hour every thing shakes like it should. Went from 560 sq ft garage to 1350. Wife still thinks I'm going to let her park inside.......

Don't laugh at my cut wheel wells I cry when I see them

Looking good. I can't remember what a clean garage looks like, but that picture reminds me.... Looks like the patrol feels right at home and has room to breath a little.

What sort of beverage is that on the hood? Did that help get you through your journey?

Does this mean that you're moved in? or, is it just the start?

Congratulations on the new house! 1350 sq. ft. is a huge garage, very nice. Should be a corner in there for the wife.

The Patrol looks comfortable in it's new home.
