I have some orange peel in the clearcoat but some cutting and buffing makes it all smooth.
  See the blurry reflection of the lights in the top picture? It looks much better in the second photo. That is the same part of the hood after some buffing. I used the 3m two part system. You may have noticed that I welded up my windshield sprayers, jack tube cut outs in the rockers and some other areas to clean up the exterior. This is not a concourse car. Now to start working on all of the satin black parts. I had no idea of how many parts and surfaces I would be prepping until i started laying it all out. Along with the rockers valence, engine tins and engine lid screenS, I am painting the sail trim, door pillars, and door handles black. I know the purists will (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) it's my car and I like the cleaner look. The only chrome will be my backdated bumpers and outside mirrors.  |

Now the rewarding part begins. I hope I don't scratch it! I cleaned and wire brushed everything the very best I could before putting any of it back on the car. I learned that a large part of restoration is cleaning. I had a little cleaning, scrubbing soaking station set up in the laundry room sink for a month or more. The wife was not thrilled. She wants to know why I can't clean anything around the house. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
I replaced the front suspension bushings, sway bar bushings, koni adjustable strut inserts and rear shocks. I wife brushed the brake calipers, changed the pads and installed all new rubber brake lines. I painted all of the suspension parts with satin black rattle can.  |
