Another progress update. MPR got the front clip blocked and buffed, then buffed the rest of the car and all panels now have the same sheen, shine, gloss and it all still looks like an 80s single-stage enamel repaint that is in great condition. Still retains the minor dings and paint imperfections that were common to that era and the life it has lived since then. I'm very pleased with it.

He got the new grille insert put in as well as the filler panel, and then polished it all as well. Back on the car and it looks fantastic. Also got the new stainless steel drip rail moldings installed and they were worth the price! Much better than the plastic ones. Here are a few pictures to preview what she'll look like when all is done. Still need to install the rear deck lid Firebird badge, and the Formula 455 fender badges, hood scoop grilles and Ram Air call-outs, then the new stripes!

















The view over the hood!
