Cutlass Supreme 1-Step

<span style="font-size:18px;">Hi everyone, decided to post up a quick write up of a a 1-step i did a while back. 


<span style="font-size:18px;">I believe it was either a 79' or 80' cutlass supreme, can't remember. If anyone knows the exact year please let meus know!


 


<span style="font-size:18px;">Perfection was not the goal, but it was a definitely an improvement. That's for sure! 


<span style="font-size:18px;">Gloss greatly increased, holograms were removed & very minimal swirls remained.


 


<span style="font-size:18px;">From start to finish it took about 8 hrs.

   -Porter Cable DA

As you can see on the front hood, no area was spared of holograms & swirls

After a 1-Step, you'd never have known it had been in such rough shape

Thanks for looking! Hope you have a great day!
 
Looks more like a '76 or '77. I had a '77 Supreme Brougham I swapped a 455 into back in the mid 80s. Fun car, great sleeper. 


 


Nice job knocking the swirls out, paint looks great!

You're probably right Scott! Definitely must have been a fun car to own!
