Thats one beauty of a car! I love the black on orange look.
 
Mike that can't be a show car. There aren't any swirls! Where's the cheap spray detailer and dirty terry towel for him to religiously wipe it down with every minute?

:)

Looks fantastic!

>>>> Update! <<<<


I just added the before and after walk-around video. The before portion really shows you just how bad the paint was before we buffed it out.

The after portion shows you what it looks like after going through our show car paint polishing process...



:)
 
Here's the process pictures...

We used Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish with foam polishing pads to remove any and all light or shallow swirls and scratches. I let the guy pick the tools they like to use or want to test out...

There's plenty of pictures of the outside of the car and I figured you might want to see what it's like to sit behind the steering wheel...

Mike, it's nice to see the potential we all have, as non-professionals, in a car makeover considering how swirled out the Cuda was before. Another great night. Den

Larry that is one cool picture you took! Thanks for joining in with us, hope you can attend more of these projects in the future.


Next time you're hear, show me how to set up my camera to do the same...
(I resized it to 800 pixels and placed it on our forum gallery)

Wow, it doesn't get much better than a big block E body! The 'cuda looks great. Enjoyed working on the car, it brought back lots of memories. Good luck at the Garlits' car show.

Max, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to work and learn in the Autogeek's show car garage. The projects are great, Mike is extremely patient and knowledgeable, and the beautiful facility makes it an awesome experience.
