Well, I get little catnaps as I go along.. I've had health/sleep issues for many years, so I work when I'm able, and catch my sleep a couple of hours at a time...
Still not happy with the shade.. Sucks to be this obsessive.

It's getting pretty close.. maybe a couple more coats. At least the weather is better today. I got tons of stuff done. I think the body is done for the moment, it just needs to cure now. I'll try to get a couple more shots with the body and the neck together.. probably not until tomorrow, though. Let the finish cure overnight, and see how she looks with fresh eyes.

Yep, me too. It will be a while, though. That lacquer has to hang for a while before I wetsand, polish, and rub it up. The waiting always drives me up a wall...

It's coming around, for sure. I did a preliminary wetsand and rubbed up the body a little tonight. Stunning. I think I'll float another couple of clear coats on there before I hang it up to cure. Looks amazing. ;D
