    Was suggested that I join up here a while back from someone over at the Garage Journal Forum. So here I am.

    I am currently working on a 1960 Stude Wagon. It has been in the family since the late 60's/early 70's. It was won in a poker game. :biglaugh:

    Progress can be seen at http://www.thisoldstude.blogspot.com

    :Welcome: I'm amazed at how well the NuFinish works on old paint. It does nothing for the new clear coats.

    Hey CI, great story on your classic Stude. You had to have been so psyched when the dent in the roof just popped out with a little persuasion. Good for you. Looks like it's in much better hands now that it's in your's! Good luck and welcome.

    NuFinish is amazing stuff. I used it on my 67 Lesabre and the paint came back to life! It was worse off than the Stude.

    It was a very awesome moment. I was almost positive that a crease or indentation would have been left.

    holy crap :49: no one has ever put that together (y) That is precisely where I got it from. Fins left!

    Thanks! I plan to update as often as possible. Being that the car is in a different location than where I live, I don't get over there often enough. My 2yr old also takes up a lot of my time as well.

    Hopefully I can get some things done over Christmas. It has been a dream of mine to get this car going and I am stoked to finally be getting things done.

    It looks in remarkable shape for having sat for so long. I think that is going to be a great wagon. I like your ideas.(y)
