The battle of the scratches continues. Round 2. This round requires a TAG TEAM!  Dean and Steve both work with my wife at the dealer. Scratches are no match for this assault.

The operation was a success and the scratch battle has been won.  ;D  For a while I was really beginning to think "It is what it is" and I was going to have to live with it the way it was but due to the efforts of 4Speed, Dean and Steve, The scratches are gone and she now looks like a BLACK MIRROR. Thank you Doug, Dean and Steve. Some beers are on me at the Nats.  Oh, wait,  Dean and Steve wont be at the Nats.  I guess 4speed gets their share the eh?  8)  




Now it is detail time, reassemble what I took off and then we should be ready for decals.

Really!  I think the plan is to drive the whole way but have a truck and trailer on stand by if need be. Plan B is to trailer it to Lima and then drive it from there with the caravan.  I believe Hammer and crew are going to do the decals AT the Nats. I guess we will see when we get there.
