Re: Corvette ZR1 coorection
Very nice correction!
How come the images have sunbursts, is that a special effect of sorts? I never get that, looks kinda cool.
What products did you use to do the work, a quick write up?
Cheers,
GREG

Bob - What did you do to the carbon roof & glass hood panel? (GM put out a TSB warning to not use any product that doesn't dry clear)

Re: Corvette ZR1 coorection
what did you use the wheel dollies for?
can you spin the wheels *easily* by hand while the car is lifted in place for cleaning/polishing?
are you able to move the car around in the garage on the dollies with the dolly wheels being so small? wouldnt it take great effort/force to move it with small wheels? even on smooth surface? where would you push? pull? to apply force to move the car?
sorry if it sounds like I am dogging your dollies. I am just intrigued with them, and love the idea, just curious on how effective they really are, especially on say a heavy suv?
how do you get the car up on the dollies? do you drive onto them in lowered position then raise? or are they two pieces and you put them together around the wheel and lift?

Re: Corvette ZR1 coorection
Bob - waiting to see if your next special guest is Jesse 
Kidding aside, that is very wet looking and is a tribute to your work ethic. You definately take cars to a whole new level and then some!  |

If Jesse ever wants to come to the Bay Area he would welcome anytime to work in the shop, actually Dave from Street Dreams(dsms) is coming in next on July 23rd to help out for two weeks as I am swamped and by the time I type this "The Carbone" should be landing back home in Orlando. Richie was an imeasurable help to me this week especially on the ZR1 as he knows almost everything there is to know about the car and Vette's in general as he has owned two.

Had Richie Carbone in the shop as a tech advisor on the ZR1, funny the dealership hacks did not read that TSB that is for sure!!!.

Funny you should ask....................... there has been " certain folks in the industry" who feel I am a spam machine for GI, so I have been emphasizing the results more than the products, even though in my past write ups there has been plenty of mentions of other product lines besides GI but I guess those products are okay to bring up........... makes you hmmmm  .
