I followed a recommended sequence to put on the top, and modified it a little bit. It turned out pretty well for my first one.  I learned quite a bit, and although I hope to never have to do another one, my next would turn out better.

I tried to follow the factory processes for gaskets, retainers, etc.

The texture on the panel was a shot "from the hip".....hopefully it's close.  You can see the difference between it and the SEM Trim Black on the tail light housing.

My constant shadow.


And my wife thought this was a funny position.  She obvoiusly doesn't spend enough time helping me on the car.  Many others have been way funnier.

Definitely nice work and progress.  I'm not into the reproduction/restoration side of things but your efforts do make the idea very attractive...

I was to post the same LOL, but by some restriction about my location, I can't see the official video, so this was one of  my options:
