Had a productive afternoon today. Mark and I installed the pass. door. It looks great (see pic) I hooked up the power windows, so their working again.

Mark wet sanded the bumper with 2-3-5000 paper, and then buffed in out, looks great. (see close up pic).

I reinstalled the hood rubber on the cowl, and cleaned up area. I then wet sanded the splash apron with 2-3-5000 paper, still needs to be buffed. (see pic)

Here's a few pics.

Smooth and straight panels! The reflection of the light bulbs doesn’t have any bend or wave. Nice!

Was out in the shop a little Saturday, and today. Got both front fenders wet sanded with 2,000 paper. They came out nice. Hope to work on them again later this week. Here's some pics...Jim

**oldman3** · 10-23-2018, 07:38 PM

Back in the shop today, and finished both fenders with 3,000 and 5,000. Next step is to buff it out. Will be a day or two. Here's a couple pics, doesn't look much different that before, but it sure is (see close up)...Jim

**8man** · 10-24-2018, 10:50 AM

RockinKees · 10-24-2018, 11:19 AM

Got fenders buffed with step 1 today. Back at it again tomorrow, then I'll have pics...Jim

reaper71 · 10-26-2018, 11:12 AM

Finished up stages 2 and 3 on the polishing.
We hope to start install today.

Mark

RockinKees · 10-26-2018, 11:18 AM

Wow, that’s shiny!!
Jim sure is very happy with you!!

**8man** · 10-26-2018, 11:21 AM

Mark, I'll say it again, you guys are an inspiration.

I just sent this link to my buddy who is taking the 48 from me. He wants to do the paint and I've told him that if he follows your steps he can do it.

reaper71 · 10-26-2018, 01:02 PM

Kees, thanks but Dad has done a ton of work with the sanding and some polish I have been finish polish on most items and we will work together on assembly.

8man Thanks again we do our best with what we have to work with.

Mark

**oldman3** · 10-26-2018, 08:10 PM

Just now saw the pics Mark posted on the finished buffing. Between the two of us we got the front end put back in place. Still have a lot of lining up stuff, then in can be tightened down. Here's a couple pics I took a little while ago...Jim
