'31 Ford Model A Cabriolet Street Rod

[tapp1]

Some photos of my work I did to prepare my grandfathers 31 Ford Model A Cabriolet Street Rod. His car was homebuilt in his a garage at age 70. The car is all steel as well and was built to be a driver-not a show car....His car was accepted in the Good-Guys East Coast Nationals indoor car show(happening this weekend). Some left over compound from his detail is seen a couple photos which was later removed.

Products Used:

G110
D300/M105 combo on 5" MF Cutting Pad
M205 on 5" LC white pad
Topped with M26
Tires & Wheels cleaned with DP Rinseless Wash & Gloss
Tires dressed with M40
Glass Meguiar's Perfect Clarity


And the damn pollen was already showing up in the outside shots

I like it.


Nice work. What you did I described in the introduction of my how-to book, and that is you, like myself and many on this forum, have the natural to take a diamond in the rough and turning it into a glistening gemstone.


Polishing paint is an art forum, not a grinding process. I takes the right products, pads, tools and techniques but it also requires the human elements of care and passion.

You my friend are an artist...
