Couple of pics of the first stage of polishing on my backyard paint job. Only the hood left to paint.

I was going to go on about the nay sayers, but I'll just say ... it's coming out pretty freakin nice. Certainly requires some post "paint booth" work to get rid of some garbage and peel, but if you put on enough clear that's not a problem at all, in fact kind of a labor of love.

About $3000 instead of $10-15,000 ... yes it's not perfectly straight, but it's the best paint and body that's been on the car since I bought it in 1976.

End of the month it should have everything painted and installed, by the end of August road worthy with all the polishing done.

Pics show results before actual polishing, just sanding and cutting.
