Thank you. I love restoring antique and original single stage paint, if not done carefully it's all to easy to destroy and once you make a mistake it's kind of hard to put the car into a time machine and undo the mistake.
I actually have about 100 more pictures of this project including claying the interior paint and glass as there was black overspray all over the car.
Fun car to work on and Corvette Mike always has a great collection of cars on hand...

Ya it looks as thou he has an awesome collection, looks like a lot of fun. I love vetts, but when you put a 50somethin next to a new one, theres no comparison...the oldies, as in most cases, always take the cake
So you said you did some claying to remove paint over spray....as i said earlier I'm just recently getting into the deeper aspects of detailing and actualy my friend just got a ride where the people seemed to have tried to spray some rattle can junk on the wheel well covers and the running boards. I'm not too concerned about those pieces cause we're gonna get rid of em and put something different on, but what i DO want to get rid of is the overspray on the BODY that they apparently didnt tape off.
All ive got is just a mothers clay kit which is working fine for claying dirt and such, but its kinda not 'cuttin' it with the over spray...not trying to jack the thread but do you have any suggestions...do I need aggressive clay, and could you (when you have time) post the overspray pics
Thanks man...this seems to be getting more fun all the time

For those that took my 3-day class this last weekend, when I told you about how to do a reverse test spot, this is the article I was referring too...

Re: The Reverse Test Spot
And when you did this, it didn't leave behind any barely visible lines? (From the finish being imperceptibly uneven where the tape was applied.)

No. A long time ago I learned the lesson of not buffing directly on top of the tape-line because as you allude to, you can leave a line.
In fact... I have an article on this topic... and if you'll notice, I put an exclamation point at the end of the title. !
The LINE ---> How to avoid the line!
