1956 Chevy Bel-Air - Dampsanding, Cut & Polish

Re: 1956 Chevy Bel-Air - Damp-Sanding, Cut & Polish

I am damp sanding MY sons work truck it is trashed beyond belief but I am giving it a good try my first shot at damp sanding! He said you can't make it any worse than it already is! On the front of the hood I am giving it the rustoleum roll on treatment I cant believe how good it turned out , right now I am at a stand still since the machine broke down the backing plate came apart at the connection to the rubber from the center steel I was using the cutting pad with the M105 to buff out the hood just a little scratch from where I stoped buffing when it broke. Customer service says new backing plate is on it's way back to work when it gets here. I have the rest of the truck already hand sanded, I cant wait!!!! Sorry no camera or pictures available do not know how to do that part yet, more new tech I have to learn!!!!:buffing::hotrod2:
 
Why Deputy Sheriff Mat S, better not let Sheriff SKI sorry I mean Snyder know of your talents or you maybe placed on auto duty instead of patrol.Great work on a TRI-FIVE.:buffing:

If I remember correctly we cut with M105, polished with M205... could have re-polished with a dual action with Wolfgang before applying Fuzion, been too long to remember...

1956 Chevy is my Bucket list car. First car I remember my dad owning. turquois / white :)

Blast from the past....


This would be in my opinion, an example of what I call,

Scuff-n-Buff


That is using high grit sanding discs to lightly machine damp sand paint to remove surface texture, orange peel and level swirls and scratches.

Looking back at all the pics, and reading I have to say wow! My father owned a '56 Bel Air, he bought it new, Yellow and Black 2-tone. I was just a baby, 2 years old.

Two questions I have Mike. #1, For wherever the machine cannot get to, do you then need to use these 3000 grit Discs by hand to get to those tight areas?

And #2, that Tumbler of Mountain Dew sitting on the car in a couple of Pictures. Is that a Tervis Tumbler with the Autogeek Logo on it? Nice!

If so, is Tervis Tumber still even in business, I thought they were gone at present day? Loved their Tumblers, and still have a couple new ones but am afraid that's now it except maybe for that auction site?
