Thanks bud. I polished right over it with m205 and Rupes yellow pad. Just to clean it up bit.

Thank you!

Here's my comments besides, great job and cool car....


When the owners of cars like these are fortunate to have guys like you restore the original paint on cars this old they are LUCKY!

To have someone take a wool pad and rotary buffer to vintage single stage metallic paint would have more tha likely destroyed it besides filling it with holograms and then to remove the holograms would require removing more paint.


Nice work, cool car!





Where's the picture showing blue paint on your buffing pad?

Awesome car! One of my favs growing up as a kid... Although I was partial to the 77/78 years. Amazing work!
It must have been difficult polishing around that huge thunder-chicken on the hood w/out nicking it... What did you use to clean that up?

Thanks Mike! Your absolutely right about dealing with vintage single stage paint.

As for the pic of the pad I completely spaced out but don't worry. My cutting pad was white and is permanently stained blue lol.

TBH I just went right near it and even over it a bit. Then went over the whole thing with m205 and a Rupes yellow pad. Glossed it right up. If it was freshly restored and mint I definitely wouldn't have done that. But it will be going in for body restoration in the fall.

Yep... I can walk out to the garage and remind myself of the car that we buffed out by looking at the color in the pad.

Looks great. I got to do a 79 a few months back. It's all original and only has 900 miles on it. It was sitting in a warehouse for years and I was able to be the first one to bring it back to life. Last pic is sitting in showroom.
