That looks great! I fondly remember the countless hours to polish the stainless on my 9. Today, I will be teaching a responsible 17 year old how to do that work and earn some money. I guess it took about 50 hours to do the entire bus the first time. I am hoping that to rebuf will take alot less. I get all my supplies from Southwest Metals. They are very helpful and great prices.

Keep up the good work.
