I finished the front end of the Corvette. Basically, it includes a large diameter front sway bar, the 550 pound springs I showed earlier and Bilstein shocks. It all went together well (aside from 90% of the fasteners being incredibly loose), but I also discovered the front end was never greased. None. Nada. Nothing! . I resolved that and by the way, I use John Deere severe duty Polyurea grease, thanks to my old drag racing buddy and big time farmer Grant M. Don't laugh...this is serious high performance grease that's very happy in an automotive environment.
With that out of the way, I just about ran out of parts. Plus I needed a change. As result I decided to work on the paint. The paint is pretty nice on the car but I dug into it with Meguiars fine polish and my go-to shiny maker for lacquer, which is Meguiars Number 7. As you can see in the pix, it works great. I have other Meguiars product, but I don't need it here (although I might use yellow wax on it when it's done). Besides some of it is for use with an electric buffer and I'm doing this all by hand. You can see how much red is coming out on the microfibre towels. FYI, I have a big variable speed Makita buffer, but I'm really (Really!) hesitant to use it because I don't know how thick the paint is on the car. I don't have a thickness meter and I'm not sure if they work on fiberglass.
