Made a couple animated GIF's to show the Bermuda in action.

Very very excited to see this happen.....Big ass bag of

started on bodywork yesterday. pretty much sanded and scuffed until the sun went down. my right hand was so sore i could barely lift a beer can.

the hood had a few little areas where the clear was faded/oxidizing. might not look like it but it's smooth as a baby now.



just in case anybody is wondering. These black plastics are super easy to remove. Just (6) 10mm screws from the bottom then pull them straight up.

then the painted cladding pulls apart like a Hot Wheels track and has one plastic clip in the front wheelwell



I got through doing the Hood, front Bumper, and the whole passenger side. The paint is damn nice on this thing considering its a '03. Makes things a lot easier. Front bumper needs more work and a little body filler and more sanding. Also have a scratch/groove on the rear passenger side needs a lil glaze love. Still got plenty more to do. One thing is for sure, you will never see the Pewter paint glossy and shining again! haha
