No problem Ron, it's all in good fun. Besides mine might be slower but you can't beat the sound of a V8!! LOL!!

This is a friend of mines so I'll leave it up to him to answer that. I can tell you this, when he pops the hood that thing shines!!

225, it's got more than my 5.0 Bird!

A couple more steps and your wheels will look like mine. I used #150 thru #2000 grit.

The #1500 & #2000 grit I wet sanded, then used a buffing wheel with Eastwood brown , then white bar.

Time and patience!!!

Thanks for looking.

She is very beautiful, i wish mine were clean as yours but i will need a complete paint job. I sanded also the wheels, but stopped at the 600, maybe i will go higher next summer.

The wheels are polished.

I hand sanded them, then buffed them.

Thanks for asking.

Wow! Are those chrome plated snowflakes? That is a fantastic car! I've had 2 TC's. A black '88 and a silver '87. Both were 5-speeds and the most fun cars I've ever had. I miss them

I really miss my '88 5spd !!!!!!
