Rich, excellent choice on keeping the A4 silver. I think it makes excellent use of the designers genius use of light and shadow in the body lines. Silver with black accents, like the rockers, has an all business look to it. up

Left side "done" (and you know "done" is usually a lie with a car like this) above the character line for the time being.

A short video

I might leave it alone below the character line for awhile(?)

Will have to see how it looks when I get it up on the hoist, start prepping the new metal for epoxy/single stage black and sound deadener.
Might cut and buff those areas later on but not sure.
I'm not scooting around on the floor to do that.

Learning alot on the fly....even work I did only 3 weeks ago is not to this level....I have to go back and refine what I just did a little further to make it all look like I want it to.
That happened during bodywork as well. I'm pretty amazed how this project has changed me for the better.
