Wow, great job and what a shine! How do you polish aluminum to get it like that?

All of it? The hood and cowl too?
I used stainless for my floor; it has advantages, but the stuff is downright evil to handle!

Now that is nice. Really like the sides in polished finish, are the side panels in one piece?

Damn! All this time I thought it was ally (and hoped for a similar finish).
Very fine-looking car, the Isonblade.

Didn't someone pretty local buy the salvage Jon? We might see it again some time.
