came across this picture a while ago and saved it because i loved the idea. but cant remember whos car it is? pretty sure it was on here.

just wondered if anyone had done this, and if it would just be a hell of a load of sanding down and metal polish etc to get to this.

Lots of sanding, lots of, different grits, lots of autosol

To get it mirror finished would be best to use a machine to buff it
