Props. Beautiful build. I love the ghost. This is super clean looking. I would almost run it on my desk without the side panels.... Otherwise who would know all the top notch work that went into it.

Thanks man, and you may be right about taking side panels off.... or... I was thinking about using this. Only problem is he makes those out of really tinted acrylic which I don't like that much. Would prefer clear.

I'm not too familiar with polishing, but wouldn't it be necessary to apply a clear coat or something in order to prevent tarnishing?
I tried that. Bought some automotive clear coat. Gloss finish in a spray bottle and the effect was terrible. I don't know if I did something wrong or the clear coat I bought was shit. But after doing few coats and letting it dry to next day all the shininess was gone, turned almost as matte as before polishing. Luckily it was easy to take it off with the polisher and some more aggressive compound.
