Preview of a coming attraction

1974 Chevy Corvette Convertible. Just a teaser cell phone pic that turned out way better than I thought it would.

Typical rock hard Corvette clear even though this was obviously a repaint. Took Optimum's Hyper Compound and orange Cyclo cutting pads to really make a dent in the swirls, and amazingly, no marring! Stepped down to Optimum Polish and the white Cyclo pads, buffed off with OCW and topped with #16.



I'll have more pics up tomorrow sometime.

I use to own a 81 and you don't realize how long that hood is till you start polishing it.

Ouch, just by looking at all the body curves my back starts aching already.

Has anyone ever noticed how the newer f-bodies have some weird indent on the lower panels, that makes using the PC very hard? I can only imagin what that thing would be like.

Looks great even with the crappy pic.
