Some cool current and up and coming classic car wet sanding projects

[RaskyR1]

Just thought I share some pics of the'67 GT500 convertible I'm working on as well as some cars I'll be doing after I finish this one. I'll be doing all the wet sanding and buffing for this shop from now on.






Some wet sanding had already been done on this car before I arrived but I still ended up going over the whole car. I'll be heading back there later this week to start buffing.

You can see how the orange peel was in these pics...

All sanded...1000 & 2000 by hand, 3000 by DA. Pait was a few months old and very hard!

I buffed a small spot before I left with M105 and a W5000 pad. Looking like glass now.

Some cars I'll be doing next...

I love this color combo!!!

A lot of the Eleanor cars owners had the panels all molded in....looks very clean that way!

No shortage of HP in this place!!!

One of the original Christine cars fro the movie getting a face lift.

Another Fury

Custom '67 GT500....this thing is going to be mean!!!

'59 Impala conv....another custom jb that looks amazing so far! The metal work is awesome!

I was pressed for time so sorry about the poor quality pics. I try to get more detailed with them as I get more into a grove. Not used to working off site.

Thanks guys! The shop is about 3 hours from me so it's going to be crazy trying to juggle my full time job and working on these. Once we get caught up too shouldn't be too bad though.

Some more pics of the convertible...

Last minute mechanical work kept me from finishing off the complete detail but I was able to at least get it wet sanded and buffed. It was late and after 13hrs of buffing I was tired and not up to the task of taking pictures. I snapped a few and some may be slightly blurry as my tri-pod was MIA.

Hopefully on the next car I can better document the work but this one was on a tight schedule.

Thanks for looking,
