1966 Valiant Signet Convertible Resto
Well I've been tied up lately with other things lately (lil' sis came out to Cali for her Spring Break) but finally got the doors completely polished and ready to be mounted. I have really underestimated how much time it really takes to cut all the panels flat. On top of that the buffing time to get every microscopic scratch out of the paint. Then bringing it up to a super high gloss. I think each door has about 8 hours into just the cut and buff. Well the results are pretty F'n incredible IMHO. Especially considering this is my first rodeo. Very cautious with the rotary. I'm very happy so far.
For those expecting to see the car at the Spring Fling in Van Nuys you'll have to wait til next year or some of the later car shows during the summer. no way I'm going to rush things just to show an incomplete project. Did that once already. It will be finished the next time it makes it to a show. Summer cruising is the goal. Not too far away :cheers:
Here are a few pics of one of the doors I finished last night. No sunlight pics yet. Will get those up soon.
Meg105 ultra cut on a wool pad. Just a few holograms showing.
