    What pad did you use with the BF 1 step?
    I used white and black Lake Country and Yellow GG perfecting pads

    Paint is only original once. As Mike said, the primer shadows are now just a natural patina of the ORIGINAL paint. I can't get over how clear and slick the finish is.

    Maybe I missed it, but what did you use on the tail pipes?
    Thanks! I used McKee's Fast Metal Polish and a terry cloth towel

    The vehicle is now in show car condition. I hope it wins an award at a show, because the trophy belongs on your shelf!

    Amazing project/ amazing work.
    Thanks!

    Wow, that is AWESOME.

    When I was a kid, a friends father had a 79 TA just like that one except brown, with the 6.6 and the Rally Wheels. I used to love seeing that car drive up and down my block.
