Still have to wet sand and polish, but wanted to post a few pics from this morning. This job would have been easier with power in my garage. I blew a breaker and replaced it but still didn't work. I had to run lights and the compressor on an ext. cord from the house. lol

very nice color...very understated, which works best for those cars imo.

Now get those windows tinted!

It's a 5.0 car - automatic.

Windows will be tinted, black wing to go on the trunk and he wants to blacken the wheels. Also have to do the door handles and mirrors and clean up the trim a little.

With father-son projects, money is always an issue...but with that color, I'd suspect a nice chrome set of torq-thrust wheels, 17" would look best....

Yeah, I didn't say the wheels would be blackened, I just said that's what he wanted. lol

Here is a before pic that you can see how bad the rocker panel was and the hole right above the rocker in front of the rear wheel.
