Thumbs up 1919 Model T, 2 Model A's, Ferrari, Viper, Belaire, Tractor, & Golf Cart

Well, I did these vehicles a few weeks ago, and forgot to post over here.

Got a call from a Clients Secretary, informing me that her Boss needed a few vehicles detailed up. She had no idea what they were, except for "classic sports cars." I drove 30 minutes to take a look at them, and was floored. Here was the line up....
199? Dodge Viper, less than 1300 miles.
1983 Ferrari, @30,000 miles
1955 Belaire, 2dr. convertible, restored 15 years prior
2 Model A's, not sure of the years, one a truck and one a car
1919 Model T
1950 or 51 John Deere Tractor
and last, but not least, a golf cart.

I received the call the day before they needed them done for a special event at his mansion.
I was informed they needed to be FULLY Detailed in ONE day. No way that was going to happen, but I'd do what I could. I showed up on Thursday Morning and thankfully, said they weren't needed until that Saturday bu Noon. A weight off my back, but still a very tight time crunch. I informed him that I will "one-step" many of them in order to complete them in the given dead-line. I was giving the OK.

The cars have been siting for a couple of years (inside), so they were pretty dusty and dirty. He recently built a big showroom, I guess for them. Now don't get me wrong, they are no where near perfect condition. I had a few more days, I could have had them looking better.

Any ways, enough with the typing.... On with the pictures. Stay with me here, I'll post the processes at the end....

These were when I initially looked at them..

Sorry about the low quality pics, but I couldn't get the setting right..

I touched up the engine. Didn't detail it, just knocked off the dust.

1919 Model T

The wood was covered with mildew. It took me 2.5 hours alone on the wood to bring it back to life. Wood everywhere!!!!!!!!!

Befores-
you can see the difference in the wood. I did one panel and the others are uncleaned

Whatever that junk was on the sides of the engine bay, was not coming of. It was hard as a rock.
