OKC red refurbishment

[MiniDave]

Wow, so how will you make it shiny to match the rest of the car?

Would a good cleaning with a vinyl cleaner followed by a good coat of polish on the paint do anything for it, cause next to the new red paint it does look kinda tired.....

It will get buffed and we'll see.

Finished off the boot and bonnet today.

That's looking great!  I'm not sure if I'll be attempting to paint my van myself....I can't imagine it coming out that well!

Yes...the flag is indeed wrong

[94touring]

Started in on the buffing.

Wow, even the roof came out shiny - looks fantastic. I'll bet he can't wait to get his car back, and you can't wait to get paid.... ;D

I've got 3/4th of it color sanded and buffed.   Half of the assembly down too.  I'm sure he's going to like the end product.

One more before I left.

Ha! Red, white and blue cars.....Stan's right!  :-)

Never paid enough attention to notice the location of the stripes.  Good to know.

How about that!  I never noticed either; it's a rather busy design, and I guess I more or less use a bit of 'recognize and recall' when viewing it.

I was on a British forum and they mentioned how the "American" version of their flag was always wrong, so I went to Google to see if I could figure out what they meant....when you look at the pics you see it right away......otherwise I never would have noticed either.

Coming out nicely.

 I just looked through all the progress photos again and there was a lot of work that went into this car. It looks great Dan.  Just like a new one. Union Jack  looks like it shined up well and  the new painted stripes , so much better than vinyl decals  .

It was suppose to just be two door skins and some scuttle repair.  Turned into a full refurb.

All done. 

[MiniDave]

Looks fantastic, I know he'll be happy to get it back!

Makes me wonder why they haven't adjusted it.

Nice job, Dan!

You really should start doing a before and after shot of these cars from the same angles. Minds would be blown.

Thanks Cameron.  Yeah he's going to be happy.  I even pulled interior and gave it the full cleaning.  This car was perfect refurbishment candidate.
