    So this car came from norcal down to socal. I had previously worked on this car and its made its way back down to be worked on once again. The car was in good condition with isolated areas of swirls and/or bugs/tar/bird poo/and misc stuff from the elements.

    Unfortunately I was not able to take many photos due to time limitations and terrible fires in socal. The fires had hindered the original scheduled appointment date and was pushed a day back. So time was not on my side.

    Take note of the bird poo etching that was on the paint.

    Trying to get some extra light at the gas station.

    These shots were taken the next day in the sunlight. Although with all the fires that had been going on, the sky was a weird orange/gray/ashy/dusty/overall terrible air. So please excuse the ash that had unfortunately landed all over the car. These photos don't do the car any justice. :doh:

    WOW ur lucky that's not too hard of a project. That car is actually immaculately kept up I've seen it at shows before i think it looks pretty familiar. Really nice final result though
