Garth,

You sir, are an artist. It is beutiful. The pictures are testement to your attention to detail.

I'm impressed! Looks great! Amazing that you have the movie star car. Thanks for keeping it right. I'm a big fan of Stockwell....just kidding. Too bad you have to polish off the overspray on the rest of the body and chassis.........belive me I know. Great post Garth!

Yup, I learned that lesson about polishing the overspray the hard way. I didn't get any on the chassis because everything beneath was masked/sealed, but I did have overspray find the windshield and the top of both fenders near the doors. Thanks!

Garth,
Its great to see folks still tackling thier own work and finishing with a fine product, "true hot rodding is still alive". Very nice machine and work! thanks for the photo's.

Don't polish off the overspray, use a clay bar. Safer and easier cause you can feel it.

Yeah, I learned that lesson too, also the hard way. I didn't know a clay bar would remove the overspray so I used the power buffer and managed to cut the color off on two edges where the paint was apparently already thin from 34 years of waxing, etc. I was disgusted with myself to say the least.

My goal was to just drive the car for the first 5 years, then embark on an engine rebuild and repaint. However, as I do maintenance work such as replacing a radiator, I go a bit overboard so I don't have to revisit this section later.

Anyway, thanks for the tip. I wish I knew this last summer when I did it. Thanks!
