These pictures are of my car after wetsanding and the first buffing with 3M perfect-it compound. It still has 3M Finesse it polish, 3M foam pad and glaze, and a hand polish to go. Can't wait to have it done. Thought you guys might want to see the progress.

You buffed the front end off!

The rest of the car looks like crude oil, it's so shiny. Do you have shiny chrome wheels to compliment it?

 

You wanna come down here and have a crack at my cars?

That thing looks fantastic! I cant wait to see the final pics!

Yes, I repainted it, and no, that's not black. That's the metallic green from 92, it's just that dark in pictures.

 

Looks good!

 

Oops, sorry it still looks really good.

 

We are now starting the "Chuck needs Glasses" fund. Pot up to $1.00

Can't wait to see it done and assembled . Your RS has always been one of my favorite 3rd gens

 

OH wow , I just checked your site out . I didn't know your car got wrecked . Thats so wierd , in the last 6 months your the 5th 3rd gen I know of that has got into a accident after swapping to a LT1 , including mine

Very cool yours was fixable

 

fredo92,

I send props to you man!! Looks GREAT so far. I admire what you're doing. Due to my involvement with Progressive Insurance in the totalling of a '93 Buick Century I had (which is on my web site) I really enjoyed your comment:

"But, when you walk into an agent's office with a significant amount of modification reciepts, they tend to change their minds about it."

I know what getting an F-Body repaired is like. Mine had a big one (that was my fault and I only had liability insurance, so I had to fix it all out of my pocket).... but it's back on the road (check my site for any info), here's a pic from the accident:



Keep up the good work on your ride!!

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm done buffing now and I'm starting assembly tomorrow (friday) and hopefully i'll get it done this weekend. I'll post some more pictures when i get them.

 

Beautiful job dude! Looks great! Did you spray it?

 

Nah, I work at a Rod and Custom shop. My boss sprayed it and I did all the colorsanding and stuff.

 

I wish I had a buffer, that is Im blowing the rent on one to make my car shine like that !YEAH!
