Presidential Detailed: 600+WHP SUPRA-COBRA IRS

I had a slew of cars thrown at me over the last couple weeks from SR Performance. I do a lot of work for them once they are finished with the mechanical fix ups. This car in particular is their shop car theyve had for a few months now. This car has a GIANT single turbo setup with a built auto tranny(not familar with the exact model-maybe turbo 400??) and also is equipped with a full COBRA IRS rearend. Doesnt hurt to make 600+WHP and never fall out of boost with the auto!! Its like a rocket when you peg it! There is no doubt it is definitely a fast car, but it definitely needed some exterior loving!!!!

When I first started, it was covered in dust and sand so I had to be very careful washing it.

Re: Presidential Detailed: 600+WHP SUPRA-COBRA IRS

I started with the hood to see where I was going to stand, it had a fairly hard clear and I ended up having to use a Burgandy wool with M105 using the KBRM to remove the defects. This was not a factory paint, nor a good quality one, but I was able to clean it up pretty decent for what it was.

BEFORE




Can you say Brillo pad??




Now can you say VOILA!!








And finally, the entire hood finished.

I then moved onto the rest of the car using M105/Burgandy, M105/Polishing Pad, and M205/Finishing Pad.







After compounding only..

Nice job bud.

In the 50/50's, it looks like you just pull a layer of paint right off!

I must say with the exhaust hanging out that far, it looks a little ricey. Great work, and I'm sure the exhaust sounds awesome
