This is one of three corvettes I did last week. This was a pleasure to work on. Built by Retro Tech and powered by MTIracing. The color is Silver Pearl, same as it was back in 1967 This was a exterior only detail, interior will follow after some work being done. The Wash Started with a wheel brush, and Dawn for the tires and rims. Then made a new soap mix. Surf city pb wash and the Shmitt. Washed one panel at a time then clayed the panel. Then dried with Cobra WW. The Game Plan I went with Optimum Polish and 3m extra cut and a CCS yellow 5.5 pad. PC speed spread at speeds 3-4. Then worked it at speed 6. After that was all done, went with a white 5.5 polishing pad and Optimum Polish. I did have to use a foam hand org/gry pad for a few areas. The new WG 3.0 DGPS was put on last for a slick wet shine. It is a little thicker then the older version, and same color. When removing it, had less dust. Same static charge, and seemed a little slicker. The WG was also used on the chrome bumpers too. Tires received Surf City beyond black. Oh by the way it has a new LS7 under the hood. Going Topless
Great job on the 'vette. I love the red stripe tires...the car is an interesting combo of old and new. Kinda wished they'd kept the old dashboard and gauges though.:shrug:
Electric sending units, from the updates tranny, and motor, wouldn't work so hot with the old mechanical gauges. I agree, that would have been very cool to see them converted over, though!
