84 Corvette - Back from the dead - new lease on life!

revelations

New member
Hey everyone!



I finally decided to post up something, since I have been a member here for quite some time, and I have been enjoying everyone else’s work!



I choose to post this car because it was something out of the ordinary. Most of the cars I/we do are “relatively” clean and look half-way decent and they are looking for the ultimate touch. This one here, as you will see, just need a new lease of life as whole!



The car is an 84 Corvette, and well you can see the condition that it was in. This job was just a polishing, and nothing else. We have setup a time for me to come back and really detail the entire car, but for now this was just a polish.



Anyways here are the pictures.. starting with the befores

Alright! So you can see that this car needed some big time help! So here are the afters – M105 with a few different combinations (wool, cyan) and then followed up with some M205.



Sorry for the not so great pictures, The owner had to leave town and I didn’t have a chance to get the keys, and when I was finished the car wasn’t in the best of light so it was hard to get good final pictures.

Alright so I was pretty pleased! And I think the owner will be thrilled as well!



Here are some back to back’s so you can get a better feel for the transformation.

Good job Chase! good to finally see some of your work! nice transformation! keep it up!



Yeah it was something different than a total correction, which made it a lot more fun! haha but thank you kind sir!
 
Great work, that vette was in really bad shape. Glad to see you brought it back to the way it should be.

Man, ya just gotta love faded SS red! Best contrast on before & afters you can get.



Wondered about the booger marks on the door panel around the driver's side mirror... poor respray? Wouldn't you love to talk the owner into ponying up the loot for a full wetsand and correction. The difference would be more astounding than your already primo results.

what a difference. talk him into replacing the weather stripping on the doors/windows. that would really transform your great result. excellent work on a trashed finish.
