looking real clean and nice. but i would polish it.

Darn, I thought you were gonna do the killer '74 Camaro!

Looks good though, but I agree, some polish would take up a fair bit of that orange peel there.

Yeah take care of the orange peel and it'll look great! You should do the 74 Bumblebee too! Rust and primer, faded paint and all!!

Looks good.

Question, since it was brought up in the thread and it might help him out too, what ways do you guys polish?

yeah i plan on polishing it and such...but i haven't yet because the stripes are actually not decal but just paint. So if i was to polish the car, will the yellow and black smudge together?

Thanks

It would be best to clear-coat before polishing. To polish, you're best to use both polishing cloths and polishing compound, if the orange peel is significant. If you can apply a smooth coat of paint (which is preferable), then you can usually get away with just compound. Cloths are available from Detail Master in grits from 3200 to 12000. Compound is made by Tamiya and comes in Coarse, Fine, and Finish, which you would use one after another. Some people also use a product called Scratch-X.

Looks freakin alrite man! Are you going to make the older one to go along with it?
