$37,000 doesn't even get you vacuumed carpets or a washed engine bay, he's just fishing.

Single stage white paint. I didn't paint it, would have to ask the painter for details. It's more about the underlying body work and priming and sanding than about the top coat.

You'd think I'd have done this by now, but I finally did the initial 20 min engine break in. 

Shall we just say...

And it went for its inaugrial 'toodle" around the block this evening. Other than the lack of muffler, it was un-eventful. No police summoned from mad neighbors, it goes, stops, turns, lights work. 

Midas, here we come in the morning. Good thing its only 1.5 miles away.

Jim - how did you clean up your sill / kick plates? What did you do to restore them?

G'day Gav,

I used a small non-metallic brush (pictured) with a good degreaser product to get all of the small grooves cleaned out - very tedious process.  Then I fitted the plate to the edge of my workbench with a couple of spare screws to stabilize it and hit it with a polishing wheel and compound (also pictured).  The grooves are hard to polish, a Dremel tool with a soft buffing tip can get in there and finish them.  Screw the stainless screws into a piece of wood or the workbench and hit them with the buffing wheel.  A final wipedown with NverDull or similar product can give a protective coating.

Awesome, the supportive bit of wood is a good idea.
