New noobie....

Well Hello everyone! New here and the proud owner of a previously enjoyed 1966 Plymouth Valiant 200. I found out from a neighbor that she (the owner) vowed to never wash the car and she never did. I promise she never did, not once. Me and my son spent 8 hours (well mostly my son) washing just the out side. With a combination of fleet wash and de-greaser we managed to get down to original paint that is, surprisingly, in food condition. May days of buffing ahead but looking forward to the father son project. I have many questions ahead but just wanted to say hello to all.

Half-way there...

Well after 10 hours of buffing we are finally half way with the buffing and look at the difference. Me and my son are having a blast doing this. Also had time for oil change, air filter, lube, break fluid change and general interior cleaning. Still a long way to go...just one day at time to get there.
