After a few minor problems we finally got my friend's 65 convertible wet-sanded, polished, and buffed out to a mirror finish and he drove it home last night. We got everything back on the car except for the headlights and the door and trunk lid gaskets but he's going to do that this week.
The color is pretty close to Poppy Red (poopy red?) and it's a GT so he'll be adding the white lower stripe decal later. Chuck and I were having a bit of a hard time with some of quality of the prep that was done (not by us) but overall the car looks good. It's just that you always know it could be better with a little more time. The big bug landing on the wet paint on the deck lid didn't help either. /forums/images/icons/mad.gif
I took some pictures and will post them later tonight. The car did look a little funny with no headlights. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif
