Aston Martin DB6 (update)

[Marius@F40]

I finally got a chance to finish this car .. It took longer than anticipated and as promised here are the pics .... Enjoy!!

I sanded the car manually with Nikkon high grade electronics sand paper starting with 1000 grit then 1500 and 2000 .. then i used 3m Trizac 3000 grit on a DA with soapy water and finally 5000 grit ..

so here is the car after the buff and all the chrome and trim . It took me three days to put all the window trim and glass in along with the bumpers and various other trim on the interior...

I still need to do a final polishing in a few weeks only because the paint is fresh and the engine still needs attention so i will have the final results in a few weeks

hope you guys enjoyed the show ..

total hrs : body work @ 4 days
: prep and paint @ 2 days
: cut and buff @ 3 days
: assembly @ 3 days

Your obviously a trusted detailer/assembler because those cars are such icons in the car world! How many times do you catch yourself staring at it and then have to pinch yourself!?

Thank you very much...I admit that I do stand back and take it all in with a grin : )
Its definitely rewarding to know that I can take a car apart do the bodywork paint it sand and buff it then reassemble it (without scratching it ) ..
Its a lot of work for one person but it feels really good when the owners first words out if their mouth when they gaze upon it is WOW!

It's probably a generational thing but....The DB 5 & 6 are truly one of the all time great cars ever made IMHO. Incredibly beautiful and you've done a brilliant job restoring her to original form. Well done.

So finally the Aston is done and awaiting the delivery truck to take it home ....

Just in case you're wondering we don't put tire dressing on until the day the car leaves ..

I have to say that the DB6 is "one of those cars", like the E-type, mid-year Corvette, Ferrari GTO, 930 911 and what I mean is timeless. A hundred years from now these cars will still be things of beauty and coveted by everyone!

Amazing work for sure. I love these cars. One of my favorite designs of all time, SLS and E-Types alike. Stunning.
