Color sanded with 1000g yesterday, working on my website today, 1500-2000g Thursday, then my buddy Brent is coming over Friday to show me how to polish it. Then we hang the doors and decklids and start reassembly. Should be done by Monday, no problem Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Holy mirror-like paint finish, Batman!

I had 2.L on my last ghia, my daughter picked rivieras so Ive located 7 original wheels, 4- 5 1/2" and 3- 4 1/2"s. two 51/2 for street, two 51/2"s for the firestone drag slicks(she will be racing powder puff), two 41/2" for the front and one for the spare. Plans are fully polished and then paint detailed in mag color

Looks good randy. Hows the back? Now that you got the first rub out, is out of the way. Gets some 3M finesse and go around the car one more time, It will get rid of that slight haz. Use it very spareingly it really loads the sponge pad up quick. Use it with a combo water bottle and work on small areas till its bitchen. Get some of this rocker spray and some satin black for them wheel wells, GOOD job for #1 daughter. Again great job!!

Hey randy, I have some original chrome strips for doors and rear 1/4s if you need them and if you need some front splash panels take a set that I left in your garage.
