After 3 Yrs and lots of $$, the 1977 Corvette is done. The finishing touch was the $400 I spent this month from AG. Today I used DP Auto Bath with a touch of ONR in the mix, XMT fine swirl #2, and then 3M Performance Finish, both with the PC 7424XP. DP Krystal vison glass cleaner, and Megiars Hot Shine Tire Gel. I am still a novice at the detailing game, but I am getting the hang of it. Here are some pics. Enjoy!

Looks Good! You can definitely sink a lot of money into a restoration project.

I've always heard "that'll buff out" and kind of laughed at...
But DANG! It really did buff right out. :D

Looks good. Congrats.

Very impressive.

What motor does it have? I can't make out the emblem on the hood?
