    Come on down bro. Are you thinking about coming down for DF?

    This will be interesting to follow. At least you don't have to tape off the trim! Wow, 500 grit?! What did they do, paint it with a roller? :D

    Looking forward to Hermann's car. Dig those SB cars.

    Good luck with that. Should look awesome when you're done. I've got a roach, er , clients car that I'm doing some sanding on right now as well but for different reasons.

    I am thinking about it, alot of people have bugged me about going. It is great not having to tape off trim, always a big bonus. The paint shrunk real funny in some areas so I just cut it with the 500 and went from there. I figured a few would like Hermann's car, it is a real nice piece.

    It should, especially for just a basic paint job it is actually turning out very well. Can't wait to see your roach job when you are finished.

    Thanks Dan.

    Just a shot of the engine, I figured since it had a blower some might like to see that.

    This is for JL, he wanted to see what my buffer looked like after 20 some years of use.

    Damn fine work bro! Those progress shots of the roof are killer. Just phenomenal polishing with one worked over buffer. That buffer has been rode hard and put up wet! Again great job.
     
  15. That black looks awesome bro. The reflection in the last picture is killer.

    Dammm Dana i'm speechless.So at this point i should't worry about you doing my vette LOL.To be honest i'm not surprised the work that comes out of you since everything you have advised me on has worked out so far and knowing the years you have been doing this i really didn't expect any thing less then what you are showing.But it still amazing what you can do with a car that started off like it did.Hats off again

    Looking good bro! It's coming along nicely. The owner should be very happy with it.

    What's with the long Johns? :confused:

    That buffer has seen some miles!

    :rollinglaugh: My thoughts exactly JL!
