Good result! You'll want to keep those waxed though else they'll rapidly oxidise. I cheated with mine, popped them down to the local diamond wheel cutters. They had quite a challenge with them though, good old 1970's wheels (not quite true) needed to be turned for a long time to allow the CNC machine to map the wheel before the cutter could start.
Thanks. I use a snow foam wash system and cabana wax which keeps the oxide at bay..break dust is another enemy. But I'll keep going over them to maintain the shine. Cheers
I had one of these in the 1970's. Lovely car. Mine was white with camel leather interior. Got it second hand. Was in surprisingly good condition with low miles. Most of them had been thrashed, as guys thought it was a.muscle car. It wasn't. Not even a sports car. It was a sedate cruiser. The V8 was.too small and underpowered. Still the girls liked it, and that suited me in my 20's.
Wow so the problems with timing chains etc were part of the cars reputation in the 70's. They were classed as junk when I went on the hunt for one back in the 80s, but as you say that V8 stag burble got me every time and still does today ! Thanks for reaching out mate 👍
what did you use to polish the aluminium wheels seems very quick the original turned surface finish was about 3.2 R a-μm -(microns) which was quite course so i rubbed it down to 0.4 R a-μm -(microns) then it would polish up to a good mirror finish but this took most of the day too do

Great video but with that weather you wouldn't see my Hardtop anywhere near my Car.

I used 320 grit and then autosol and a high speed drill to bring back the chrome look, a dirty job! But amazing results.
Can i ask what type of paint did you use? 1-2 stage? Brand etc. i need to get a bronze for my stag wheels.
2k unicolor 610 deep dark black.. EP-41 primer. Cheers
