JerseyGator Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Started this baby before Christmas and am slowly getting it done. It was restored some 20 years ago. So it's a single stage paint job. Lots of swirls and minor scratches. Before... Car is up on the lift... After a 2 bucket wash and clayed. Swirls on trunk deck... Will take better pics with my camera tomorrow night. These are taken with my cell. After 2 passes of SSHR, SHR, FMP and wet-sanding major portions of the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbeard Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Very nice. I love the color scheme on that model. Yeah, you can't go wrong with red/white/blue on a classic like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyGator Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Feeling this one,caught a glimpse of it in the background of one of your other car pics the other day! Yeah you did... In the reflection on his (Dave316's) 2013 Shelby. BTW... Dave joined AF the other day. And has purchased a whole bunch of Adams products. Another addict!

JerseyGator Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 More pics!!! Ask and you shall receive... Let me add that this car looked great from a distance, but was swirl city. And had lots of minor scratches. More before's... Taped up and started the correction! The trunk lid before... After first pass many scratches were deeper than I thought... So pulled out the 3000 grit paper and wet sanded the trunk. After 2 passes of SSHR, SHR and FMP... (that's the corrugated ceiling on the reflecting off the finish) Worked on a mirror with Chrome polish... Should have taken a before on this window. Hardly could see through it. Here's what it looks like after one pass of Revive inside and out. Here's a picture of the cowl before. I don't have the after's I'll take some tomorrow. But it's a great example of how bad the car looked up close. The hood... While I was doing the trunk couldn't stop myself from doing a spot on that 1963 Grand Prix Heavy Duty 421 (403hp!). Another one that looks good from a distance. Before... (not the same section, but the whole car looks like this!) After one pass of SSHR, SHR and FMP... Can't wait to do this one!! Will update more pics tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
