Wet sand and buff that's never the easy part. Gotta be so careful I've always hated wet sanding, probably because I'm not so great at it 😅 the car looks great!

[Leghome]

unless there is dirt or orange peel it looks really good to me

Dan looks fantastic!!!!!!!!

[Canuck]

Looks great! Love the colour.

[Dtret]

Awesome. Nice color and it looks like great prep work. 

[420ponies]

BEA-utiful !! That's one sharp color.🙂

[Chris shipley]

Looking good

[Glen]

Looks awesome!  Hard to tell from the video, but is that Hugger Orange?  Can’t wait to see it in the sunlight.  

[dan402]

The color is orange flame. Code 65

By the easy part I mean the reassembly. 
I delivered it completely stripped and have to put it back together. 

[Dtret]

I’m sure you have the reassembly under control but if you have any questions just ask. Small parts get confusing sometimes.

Great looking color, have fun putting it back together 

[stangeba]

Looking good!

Gives new meaning to the term "orange peel"

[72 Monte Carlo]

That color looks awesome on that Monte! It's going to look great when it's all back together. 

[Whons]

Excellent color!!

Thanks everybody. Just got her home Friday. I'm going to have a lot more time to devote to the hobby as I have decided to retire from working in the field as a mechanic and am starting with the state of NJ as an elevator inspector in the new year. Lots of changes recently. My mom passed suddenly in October and my son closed on his new house a week later. He's only 26 years old and I couldn't be more proud of him if he were twins. I look forward to seeing more of my Monte family in the springtime.

So very sorry about Mom!!! I didn't know, My deepest condolences!

Dan so very happy for you on your new steps in life!!!   And we all know your Son, a very good young man. Also happy for him and his start in life!!! Congrats!!!

The car looks fantastic and she will be there when you do get time to get back to her!!!   Look at me, I have them lined up, LOL!!!!

Dan, I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. I feel your loss as mine passed December of last year so I understand. Congratulations to you on your new position and I hope it all works out for you. And your son also, big step.

So very sorry for the loss of your mom, Dan. It's definitely one of the most difficult things in life, to lose a parent. Thoughts & prayers for you and your family in that aspect.

As far as the other side, Congratulations on the career move! Always exciting (and scary sometimes 😁) to take on a new job, but with all your years of experience and skill, I'm sure it will work out great for everyone. Same for your son, a big milestone for sure.  

Again, condolences, and congratulations.

December is a terrible month to lose one's Mom..... It's been 10 years now, and I understand how it feels.

Best of luck in your new pursuit Dan. 

Scott.
