Just a up date. I have none :)
I did learn that he will be painting the car with the doors and trunk and hood ,on the car, normally he said that there painted separately , but this paint that i choose is very finicky and needs to be painted as a whole,other wise he said that the door or hood could possibly show a slight un matched patterns, so that was interesting t know

I'm just wondering about my grill. It is stainless steel and has any one polished there's up, im just wondering what tool or what did you used to get inbetween the blades, DOES it come apart ?

Don't know, never needed to.

I can't speak about this for a "show car" but with my daily driver I follow these steps:
1 - wash the bugs off using a bug remover type sponge.
2 - have a beer while it dries.
3 - take a rag and dab on some chrome cleaner/polish
4 - rub it on the front of slats (that's the shiny part) the aluminum behind is gray and doesn't really shine)
5 - rub harder on the dead bugs that you missed in step 1
6 - while waiting for polish to dry to a haze repeat step 2
7 - with soft clean cloth, rub hazy polish off
8 - Wrap a small screw driver with the cloth and clean the globs of polish stuck between the slats (due to too much step 2s)
9 - Stand back, admire a job well done and celebrate with another step 2
10 - Take her out the next day (too many step 2s to drive) and get her all bugged up again.
11 - Repeat as necessary (especially step 2) :mrgreen:
