My 66 Chevy II

Buffing out a matte clear will make it glossy according to my friend. If it was a gloss we would be just wet sanding then buffing it out and calling it done.
There were some dry spots we found today, so those got wet sanded and besides the moths. Had a spot where some moisture came out of the filter on the bottom of the gun that thankfully was just the last coat of clear he put down last night, it sanded out pretty quick.

Almost back on the road.
Friend came over yesterday to re shoot the clear. Tomorrow we will start putting it back together. I have to work today otherwise I'd be doing it today.

Couple teasers until I can get it out into some sun.
Of course this car is fighting me.
Installed the lock cylinders into the doors and you wouldn't think it would matter what door they went in. Tried putting one in to align with the tabs and pushing it into place, chipped the God damn paint.i also have another spot up on the upper edge towards the wing window that somehow I missed there was a piece of tape that overhung the door a bit, of course now that needs to be sanded and base coat applied there and the whole door re cleared.
So I will have to go get some more base coat mixed up.

Hey man were you over at Summit yesterday 1-12 ? Made a trip over there this weekend and I swear just a couple minutes after I got there I saw your car pulling in. Wasnt sure if it was but if so that thing looks and sounds awesome.

Sure was, had to get it out while we had decent weather. Had to get upper control arms for the wife's 04, and I ordered wheels for the car. A couple weeks back I was heading home and some dumb **** on her cell phone came over in my lane and I had to decide on hitting her or jumping a curb, I chose the curb. It bent the crap out the passenger side front, and took a chunk out of the rear lip of the wheel, and knocked the alignment out of wack.
I've had quite a bit of compliments on the sound. I put some pypes violator mufflers on it after I got the transmission put back in.

I went with rocket racing booster wheels. 17x7 up front, 17x8 outback.
The centers will be getting sprayed the same satin black as the all the chrome was done in.
