                        To quote someone off of Firefly, "Ooh - Shiny!"

                        It looks pretty sharp.

                        Very nice, indeed! Toast

                        Did you use any wax to produce the shine or is that just the gloss paint?

                        Hmmmm,.

                         As a car buff from waaaay back I recall cringing when that movie came out and I first saw the abomination of a Vette playing the leading role?

                        Congratulations though-

                         You have turned one FUGLY movie car into a nice looking model.Toast

                        You are thinking of the "Corvette Summer" car which is much different from this car!

                        ^^^

                        HEY! You're right! I wondered why I remembered the movie car as so ridiculously ugly and then somehow I thought you were doing the same basic car???/
