This is a fantastic post..!!! As I read the story about how you acquired the car I realized I had a smile on my face. I'm really excited for you Chipintexas. Good luck restoring her and please keep this thread going..!!!
I spoke with Chip last night and my schedule is just too busy right now to make the trip out to Houston to be a part of this project but... I did tell Chip that we have a LOT of forum members in the Houston area that are experienced with machine polishing to give Chip a hand machine polishing the paint to perfection after the #7 rub downs.
And... it would be great to have some strong arms to help with the #7 rub down.
So hang tight for a sign-up thread if you're in Houston to be a part of this project.
