While I like the 61-69 Riv's better, these where really nice cars too.

after a ruff cut and buff its coming along good
After looking at it for so long it's had to tell if it relay shines like it should |
Looks much better with the cut and buff. What compounds and pads did you use?
How many hours did it take? Try some swirl remover compound for more shine. Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
