Jared Richey Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 After 3M Runbing Compound on a foam pad. Then 3M polish on a foam pad. Once I get the car together I will do some more paint correction with my dual action polisher. Still a lot of work to do but we are on the downhill slope! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dans '70 Z20 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Its a 1970 SS454 so no emblem on the rear of car. Assuming that is what you saw. DAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 1970.. no SS on rear. Camera lens makes cluster lens look foggy from glare, actually extremely clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 This is what the entire build was based on... RED INTERIOR Done in 1970 chevelle Red Color in 1970 Monte Carlo Pattern. Door Panels were a special order. Seat covers were hand sewn so much better than covers, plumped up with definition unlike cheap covers and the bolstered foam kit.
