And here she is with compound and polish on all of it, with wax on just the roof. I will wax the rest of it this week. I am very happy so far. Once I get it completed, I will turn my attention to Debbie's Bronco II.

Attached shows the difference on the driver's side fender after just using the compound.
That turned out great!

A couple of weeks ago, my old boss asked me to help him sell a car he had inherited a couple of year ago from his grandfather. He and I had talked about the car before, but I had not seen it. Last week, Jack, Debbie, and I went to take a look at it...

The car is a 1959 Edsel Corsair 2-door hardtop coupe. It had been restored years ago by his grandfather and driven to several national shows over the years. It is an older restoration that hasn't been driven in about 2 years. My old boss needed it gone because they are moving. He accepted a low-ball offer, but it's not mine...

...our son is buying it! He will let me tinker with it too, of course. The car will be towed over this weekend so we can drain the fluids and check it over. More pictures to come.

Hope y'all had a good Halloween. No SSP news from me, other than I plan to pick up a full set of correct 82-84 SSP wheels in a couple of weeks for a car I have yet to buy.
