Nice work, man!
Have you tried wet-sanding and polishing those corner lenses? It has been my experience that the yellow tinge is on the outside of the plastic due to UV exposure. Some people claim that the yellow tinge goes all the way through, but I haven't found that yet.
Let me know if you need some information on how to do it. I've done it many times to all kinds of lenses.

3000 grit sand paper and water right?

mine arent very yellow.. actually i dont even think they are yellow at all... but keeping them that way would be nice

turbines look good but they make the rust hole stick out real bad. a great improvement from the spoke caps. im getting an 88 tomorrow and i think im going to do the clear corners but i like the amber corners sometimes. ill have to see

shhould look good. i was thinking of a two tone for a while but i faded it out and now i saw a Fusion in a charcoal gray color that i love so two tone might still be in.

I like it. I like the turbines too. With them painted black, it has a General Lee feel to it. They remind me alot of those wheels. Nice car though, youre getting alot more done than I am. kudos.

with the sandpaper, i'd go with an 800 at most. You arn't going to be sanding anything with 3000 grit. When you apply a clear coat when done it will fill in any scratch marks.

Plus i like your wires better.

Turbines, woohooo!!!
They look a little off with your current paint scheme but I think the sandalwood and the black will look schweeet. Turbines will look at home when that's done.
