the funny part is that it took you longer to take and upload the pictures than it did to sand a few ridges off some plastic, congradulations

As the title clearly states "progress" if you dont have something worth saying dont say it

You will have something to say congratulations about when they are done trust me.

I thought it looks pretty good personally; starting to give me some ideas. What'd you use to get the ridges off, it looks like it'd be a bitch.
