Some of you guys have seen more of my car on cc.com than on here... So I thought I would finally share. Two years mine, 3rd owner. She was a 318 car, now 383 AT. Did everything myself, always learning. Plan on just a cruzing version for now. Future will hold AC, some discs, and larger wheels. These were just what she came with.

What wax did you use??

For a cut like that I used some old wool we had. I believe thats the ol' "Nu Finish" shine. Factory R6 red car... 'cept ALL my cars have been red.  :icon_smile_dissapprove: I didn't want red or orange, couldn't do anything like that. So, to be like everyone else I went black. The black paint still needs 3 steps of buffing. We use 3M Perfect It to #3, then Adams Car Care with the random-orbit for 3-6, but by #4 your really just hiding it. I also use Adams fine finishing towels for all work buffing, its the only way... Detail is with Wizards Mist-n-shine, makes it like glass.  :2thumbs:

Thanks all of you. I cant take all the credit though. My twin, Robert has done a lot too. And I would never have been able to get this far in without help from DC.com. To all of you, thanks. I started into it not realizing once you replace one thing, you have to replace EVERYTHING!

I like the wheels in the second pic. What brand of wheels are they?

Patronus

They are Wheel Vintiques V-48, patterned off the vintage mini-light trans-am version. They look ok on the Charger, I just wanted to see what the 17" looked like.

I do like the slots, always looking for 2- 15x10's for the back. Their always in some crazy 3" truck backspace... :RantExplode:

Thats some incredible body and paint work  :cheers:
Just wondering why the high gloss on the dash?
Wouldn't it cause glare in the sun?

Patronus

The dash is satin, same as hood and tail panel. I did at one point paint it gloss. Then, thanks to folks here, realized my mistake...
