Thanks.....I sanded and buffed the decklid last night and the shine was insane. Should have about 2/3 of it buffed by tonight and finish it tomorrow. Then reassembly this weekend. Then...on to the next one!

This was a budget job since it wasn't sodablasted. They start in the 10k range. Our full jobs start at 15k.

Yeah it's a nice car. Engine bay could use some serious refurbishing. He put a new crate 396 in it last year that supposedly makes over 400rwhp but everything else in there is old and beat up.

I know that car! It belongs to my g/f's friend's family.
I never said anything about the stripe but it always kind of bugged me, hehe. I think this is a much better paint scheme.
Nice work. I look forward to seeing it in person.

LOL small world. The original stripe would have been nice if it went all the way to the front of the car and wrapped across the top up there I think. But where it came across the hood just didn't flow in my eyes.

Paul, is the paint booth in your garage? Very cool set up. Any closer to going full time with the restoration gig?

Booth is at a local shop in Manville that we use. Going full time in about 8 weeks is the plan right now. We'll see how it takes off.

Bill,
We're just about caught up. Taking tentative work for mid spring at this point so if you know anyone interested pass the info along and tell them to get in touch ASAP. I have a feeling after show season starts we'll start getting pretty booked again. I appreciate the word of mouth.
