Looks like a beauty. I would love to drop that body on a Morrison chassis. I hope it's just as nice as the pictures. I've been drooling over it. One day my friend.One day. After looking at my quarterly financial statements it might be a while. I could just puke. Especially after seeing this car.
OK V8 Buick People: I saw it and drove in it. A very very nice original. Not mint though. Could use a nice detail and a 2 step paint correction and touch up. Rock solid and drives nicely. 67K. I looked underneath as much as I could in his driveway. If it were my dough, yeah, it's up in the air! Nice inside, nice trunk, the engine is actually clean too. I looked at it for a pal out of the area. I think he's gonna make a play for it. I'll let y'all know. Mitch
Very jealous. Sounds like a good car hopefully there's a little wiggle room on the price to sway your friend. I think it's a fair price for a one year car in that condition and there isn't many out there. Way cheaper than restoring one and you can get in it and drive. Always a bonus. Drop her down a bit add a nice set of hoops & wheels and cruise in style.
Two Step Paint Correction is suited to cars that have moderate swirl marks and light scratches and involves using 2 different polish and pad combinations; the first step is generally a cutting (abrasive) polish, to remove imperfections such as swirl marks, light scratches and other moderate paint defects. Example:
OK V8 Buick People: Scott Bley is great. Another guy way off the page is brian Spliter at Apex Auto Detail. Mitch
We call that a Cut n' Polish. I prefer using 3m Trizact system for sanding and 3m Perfect it EX 3 step system for polishing. It's pretty fast and works great. It all depends on what your looking for and how much paints on the vehicle. Always a gamble when you haven't painted the car. There's lots of different ways to correct paint. The best way is to have a experienced person and the tools to do it first and not to bring it to him after you failed trying.
