in the process of making a nice daily driver ... should be out of the shop by July and by summer 2014 it will probably be a bagged low rider.

got to relearn stuff ...
haven't done much of any detailing since the late 80's

Tryin to figure out what extra I want on the paint job ...

Thinking about red pearl on a dark red paint like whats on it now but fresh ... not 100% sure if pearl or a fairly fine metal flake or fleck.

really fun! It's touching into a lot of stuff I have never messed with - more customized paint and building a mild low rider.

The trick will be in making sure that the originality of the car remains in tact. The key will be minimal modifications to the original part (of course with the exception of CHROME :props: )

What brought me to this forum was a Google search where there was a comment about one product made metal flake more noticeable and for longer and I was wondering if it were a carnauba based product or a synthetic.

This will be a nice project to follow and you said you haven't detailed since the late 80's, well those wheels on the prject car look to be from the same era, along with white lettered tires, LOL. The engine sounds like a good start, maybe slide in a "Duntov" cam and tune it and drive it!

What wheels do you plan on putting on it? Personally I like Vette rallies with either 67' disc brake caps or the 68' police car caps. What color is it going to be? There's so many companies out there that make parts for it that you should have no problem turning that "SIX FOE" around.
