Superb work
Is it staying original colour underneath or going body coloured?

P.S. what are you using to clean the grime off (thinners etc)??

I think you will have to jack it up higher after all this food.At least you can burn it off in his pool.Keep up the good work.You will be doing this sort of work full time soon.
