I finished this project a couple weeks ago and thought I would share here.
This car is a 69 Camaro Yenko clone.
Just about every after market part on the car came from Detroit Speed.
The customer spent 130000.00 on the car. It has all new suspension brakes etc.
The only thing original about the car is the body and most of the interior.
It sports a 505 with a 4 speed. 4 link with a dana.
I drove this car and it drives and handles like a modern sporst car just no traction control:chuckle:
The customer wanted the stickers removed from the car and the paint polished.
He didn`t think it was in that bad of condition. When I finished with it he was very very surprised at how good it looked. A vapor steamer was used to remove the decals. Denatured alcohol helped with the glue
First shot car inside. Quality of the pic not good.

The next shot is the hood after I removed the decals a little glue left to remove.

This is the roof with orange peel I basically wet sanded most of the car with 2000 to flatten out the paint.

The paint on this car is over 10 years old!
Optimum compound and a wool pad took care of the wet sanding.
Optimum polish was used with a wool finishing pad to remove the heavy swirls.
This paint was very hard almost like a ceramic clear.
Polish again with an Orange pad.
Polish one more time with a white LC pad and Optimum.
For the finish polish I used FPII and a 100 ppi foam pad.
Protection was two coats of Opti-Seal.
Roof shot and fender in the sun.
