Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
Another of the projects I asked Schonye to leave for me was seat belt restoration. All sixteen belts are present in the car and are in nice shape with tags ranging from 17th, 19th, and 20th week of 1970. All the belts needed a good washing and the front belts needed to be redyed (sun fade). Buckle covers had standard scratches and gouges you would expect for an 18,000 mile car...

Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
The "GM" button decals were all in excellent condition. The metal buckles just needed a good cleaning up and they were good as new. As far as the plastic buckle covers, I took Ed's (Enio45) advice
 and I started with 1500 grit wet sanding and finished with 2000. I inverted my buffer with wool pad on my vise and used water and 3M Finesse to buff out the buckle covers. This process took about 4 passes (ensuring the pad remains moist) to bring it to this shine...

Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
And along with the satisfaction of doing it yourself, you saved about 600+ Ssnake-0yl dollars.
They look great Sam. Nice work.
