    The pictures below do not even begin to display the amount of work, but I think you guys will get the idea. 24 hours of actual billable labor went into it. Not being familiar with the car myself, I was lucky to have referenced a post on FChat where an enthusiast was doing a full tear down and restoration on a Dino. This allowed me to find all the access to screws, nuts and fasteners for the vehicle. Enough of my blabber...here are the pics.

    Looks fantastic. Seems like the car was well cared-for and in good condition, but just needed your magic hands to really make it pop!

    (And by the way, I LOVE cleaning chrome...nothing produces a more noticeable difference so quickly.)

    Jin, I can only imagine the pictures do not do the car, (or your efforts) justice. Quite amazing! :)

    How much would you charge for a detail like that?

    If not a trade secret, what do you use to polish the chrome?

    Great work.
