  6. heres a preview, i got the driver side buffed out, it looks really nice and smooth, i have to hit it with one more compound, and then wax it. im hoping to buff it all tonight, and mask it off so i can shoot the vinyl roof...... more to come bryan
  7. ok guys, and hour n 30 mins later it has been sanded!! i have never used one before, but i tried this polishing kit out. ive have had it for a long time and thought id give it shot....it starts at 2400 grit, and ends at 12000 grit! so i started with regular sand paper..........1000 grit, and moved my way up...1200, 1500, 2000. then i started with this polishing kit, and i gotta say the results are amazing! heres a couple shots of the body, and it has NOT been buffed with any compound yet, im going to do that now. now its on to rubbin it out with some compound, it shouldnt take to much, this thing is so smooth! wish me luck! stay tuned for more cheers bryan

  17. the interior colors are krylon "ivy leaf" and "almond" i flocked the carpet, used some photoreduced gauges and made lenses for them from crystal clear 5 min epoxy, the clock in the center got the same treatment, but it got an aluminum trim ring. i also added gas and brake pedals...along with some mail on the rear seat, and a couple hot rod mags on the front seat. oh, and i made the "stitchin" on the seats stand out by gently rubbing it with a fingernail file.. and i made the steering column from a couple different sizes of aluminum tubing, with the end flared out where the wheel mounts on...... thanks for lookin bryan
  18. ive been diggin thorugh some old projects of mine, and i think i started on this one back in 09, when i finished up "ol smoothie" heres the completed interior, i may have to get back on this one. im gonna have to look further and see what else i had done on this, but i might get back to it..... lemme know what ya think about the interior guys thanks bryan
