siteunseen Posted October 11, 2014 Share #1 Posted October 11, 2014 I paid a 71 year young man to polish this 42 year old paint. It's not perfect by any stretch of that word but WOW! Slick as a button and I won't have to get it painted for many years. He said it was like "cutting a new paint job". He tried to buy my car but settled on $250, lucky for me. Look how close it came to where the hood emblem has been. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/50205-unbelievable-wheel-and-polish-to-me/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patcon Posted October 13, 2014 Share #9 Posted October 13, 2014 Looks great.

It seems like a lot of guys that own Z's also have a Nissan pickup! Robert S.
