| Here are a couple photos of my '59 Dodge Custom Royal, I bought this car from the original owner's family this last summer. Garaged all its life. I color sanded the front group, as it had been repainted [poorly] and had no shine to it. The balance of the paint was original, and needed just to be buffed out. I replaced some bent and damaged moldings, as well as the left blinker bar. She looks much better now!! ---John   |

| I remember the picture of her when you picked her up John. She looks great. What do you use to buff out old paint? _________________  |

I first used 1500 grit wet sand paper to smooth out the repainted area, and then mbuffed the entire car, chrome and glass included, with 3M Finesse it machine polish compound.

| awesome John i think there was a white and gold one just like this one at carlisle last year guy said it had a turbo or supercharger on it i cant remember now, you could really hear it scream when he got into the gas. he was a younger guy i almost cried when he brought it into the burnout contest, luckly he didnt blow a tire and take out the entire quarter panel |
