Thanks guys!
CVA59, I've driven it three times and it's not that bad, although I'm used to driving a classic car daily so I'm always on my toes anyways.
Here's some more details.
Polishing the bumper and splash pan bolts. Chucked the bolts in a drill to smooth them out. Held the drill (running) against a pnumatic grinder with a 120 grit flap wheel to rough shape the bolt and get the imperfections out.
After grinding.
Moved up to a 320 grit flap wheel, same process.
Switched to wetsanding (still chucked in the drill) using a soft sanding pad with 500 grit wetordry paper. Starting to get a hazy shine.
First step on the buffer using green (i think?) compound. Almost there.
After buffing with white compound, hand polishing with Wenol metal polish, and installing it on the bumper.
License plate bracket installed. Still needs to be spaced down.
Bracket adjusted and wired, tag installed.
Final buffing and cleaning.
Hood finished up.
A few random parts installed:
The wrong mirror base gasket came in with no time to order another before it's first car show so I had to put the mirror on without it.
Door jamb plugs.
Had to take the steering column back apart to fix the turn signal contacts in the new switch.
