So i spent a few hours outside in the sun today playing with a buffer and decided to take a few pictures. It is amazing how much better a car will look after a few hours of elbow grease. Thought i'd share a few of the highlights.

The door gfx are going on this summer. I purchased the new hinge pins to fix the door sag, then i can put on the door pieces.
I hate not having them on there, it makes the car look incomplete. Then the new emblems are going on! I can't wait to have them made  |

Looks good man. When you brake out the 1500 - 2000 paper their is now going back! I spent 80 hours color sanding and buffing my 87 after paint. It's worth it when your done but halfway through your thinking " orange peel isnt so bad"
Did you have any thin areas that you sanded through? |
