More stuff at the warehouse, coming up soon will be the blue Dodge with the Italian coach body and the 1937 Packard. But this one was today`s detail.`
`
Older repaint, owner has had the car 15 years and it was restore before he bought it. Definitely needed some polishing, budget was 2 steps so it`s not perfect but still a substantial improvement.`

For not being perfect, as you said, it looks pretty damn near it based on the pictures.` Great work on a very cool car!

Most of the car is 90% or so corrected, some parts of the car, the trim would have to come off to allow me to safely buff those areas better so those spots are still so-so. But compared to how it looked, its night and day and the owner was very happy with what we were able to do and stay within his budget.

That car brought back memories... a close friend of mine (now long deceased) had one just like that, his had a black convertible top.


Nice work!

Thanks! Coincidentally, the owner is thinking of replacing the top with a black one.`
