What goes in the square dash opening to the left of the gauge cluster?

My guess is either a tachometer or a sniper screen.

Wet sanding is in the history books…Round 1 Buffing begins.

 

[Chungas Revenge]

You can definitely see the “hours” that were put into the prep work.

 

[Chungas Revenge]

Last offering…

You really get a good feel for the personality of the paint under different lighting conditions. Can’t emphasize enough the attention to detail in the prep work.

Round II, back on the buffer tommorrow.

I’m blown out of the water myself.

I think the “paint guys” would agree with me, it starts and ends with the prep-work. RCLC is owning it..

This thing is already incredible beyond words and it isn’t even 10% assembled! How in the world are you going to get it home without smudging that mirror finish. I’ll be the first to say the Barbie garage may need to be spruced up a bit. I’m not sure I’d even let my wife park anywhere near it.

 

[Jdc1]

The rotator is now empty… , I’ll let @Chungas Revenge pick it up later this morning.

 

[Chungas Revenge]

It took a minute or so to register what I was looking at.

Reflection off of the rear quarter, post buffing…

 

[RevISK]

Holy macaroni.
That’s crazy.

The Mule has seen some time on the rotisserie and it shows!! But this week, things are changing. The tub is getting mated back on the chassis..

*Note the 2F sticker on the “back” of the valve cover. It was the mini fridges fault as I recall.
