Looks really good man. When I get mine I'm going to polish it then do some painting.

Looks great!:thumbsup: I have the same VC, I just finished painting it a few weeks ago with some black engine enamel. I had to sand the hell out of the tops to make them look good again.

What did you use to paint for ford emblem blue?

i sprayed some engine enamel ford blue on a piece of plastic and brushed it in.....

i started by painting the whole thing semi gloss black, painted the oval and when it all hardened i took a sander and sanded all the raised ribs..... took about an hour...

Nice, I'll have to try that brush trick.

Again, looks great.
