A new client saw some of my other work and asked if I could bring back his #'s matching 62 Vette. I showed him the last 62 Vette I worked on (which so happens to be the same color) and we immediately set the appointment for a big correction.


Here is the car upon arrival





Original motor, looking quite nice






The paint needed a lot of work, but unfortunately my halogen lights were acting up and I didn't get hardly any pics showing the severity of the swirls and scratches. Here are the pics I was able to get.


















After compounding...

















Trunk lid needing some work...

Even the lower sections on the body got the right treatment. Not the most fun to work on (laying on your back with a rotary at your chest), but it needs to be done....










Correction completed but the sun was setting so sun shots were taken while light was available. LSP was Blackfire Wet Diamond.





































The hard top needed correction too. There was some window frame damage that was to be repaired at a later date.














Exhaust before/after












Finished pictures



















Tires were stripped with Stoner's Tarminator then dressed with Meg's water based dressing. The shine was knocked down after pictures were taken for a more matte finish.
















Thanks for looking!

Very nice work! That body style had a lot of surface area to correct. I think those pre-1963 corvettes are one of the most enjoyable cars to drive.

How did you do that to the exhaust? Red Scotch Brite pad?

Thanks! They are fun to drive, except the part where the steering wheel is pretty much in your crotch...

Whats a red scotch bright pad? Never heard of that.

I used Mother's Aluminum polish with #0000 steel wool.

Looks great as usual, what compound and polish did you use?

The red Scotch- Brite pad is used for scuffing before applying paint and paint primers. They are extremely useful when sanding over sensitive areas such as edges, rivet heads, etc. Also used in cleaning upholstery and chrome. Can be rinsed and used over and over again.

Great work. Have always loved them older style Vettes like that.
