RobertISaar Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Then go over it with some running compound. Very wise of you to use running compound. That will certainly make it go faster. highlights and puns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I thought because race car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 well, racecar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I don't like racecar when you spell it's backwards it's still racecar. In real life you can tell which way a racecar is going. It's not coming and going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 when my racecar doesn't want to start, i rub it with running compound and it tends to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 It's awesome what a good wet sanding can do. I still have a long ways to go yet. But it's really starting to come along. Before: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Well, I'm done wet sanding this. I think it turned out great. I can't wait to see it installed on the car. The paint is nice and smooth and it shines brilliantly. For white paint it has some good depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95cutlass Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Very shiny!!! That will look really good on the Olds, can't wait to see it on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbex Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Now the bumper isn't going to match the rest of the car, it'll be too nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Very shiny!!! That will look really good on the Olds, can't wait to see it on the car. Thanks. Should look tons better than my current one. Eric, I had that same fear. The rest of the paint on the cutty is in really good shape. So I'm not too worried. At least the color matches.

urbex Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah, on my hood we actually sanded it down a little to dull it so it didn't look better than the rest of the car, because it did, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94 olds vert Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 LOL Al, I was thinking about your car when I was doing this. Getting ready to install this today. I got the old one off really easy didn't have to fight one rusted bolt. Looks scary without a bumper. A couple close of shots of the two bumpers.

94 olds vert Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks Spencer, I will get some better pictures tomorrow that aren't from my phone. I'm very happy right now. Couldn't have turned out better. In a couple weeks I'll get some wax on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pshojo Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Yeah, bushings for the sway bar. i'm replacing my control arms and thought while i'm at it, i can replace the bushing for the sway bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Yeah, bushings for the sway bar. i'm replacing my control arms and thought while i'm at it, i can replace the bushing for the sway bar. I've also done by control arm bushings... But anyways I found the links for you. These are for the front inner 9.5173: http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=9.5173 These ones here are for the front outer 9.5159: http://www.amazon.com/Energy-Suspension-9-5159R-Performance-Sets-Greaseable/dp/B005BDBIQ6 Found those on amazon for cheaper. I believe that's for FE3 cars, unless all first gens have the same size front sway bar. I thought I was going to get a new emblem for the cutty I didn't want to stick this one on my new bumper. After a clear coat and a wet sand with some polish and wax this looks better than new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
