Great post Mike. I will get my pics up later this week. Your WS6 looked awesome.

**Pats300zx** · 05-30-2005, 12:59 PM

Great pics Mike....:xyxthumbs

**Spilchy** · 05-30-2005, 01:20 PM

Very, very

Looked like such a blast. It`s neat that you met up with some of the fellas from Autopia.

Glad you guys had a great time :xyxthumbs

Thanks for the pics. That Vette is simply jaw dropping.

looks like lots of fun!

What did you charge for details and what was your process?

:up :up :up

THANKS all for the kind words!! I look forward to this event every year. It`s like a 3 day party centered around cars...a utopia for this Autopian!!

pigeonbus full time since 2001.

Bob that is actually a GM owned vehicle. I`m not sure of all the details but that was definitely done in-house. As an aside...the actual car that the motor was in was UGLY!!

Zane and Lester I know it is a bit of a hike for you both but believe me when I say it is worth it. There was a couple who drove their f-bod from California to the show this year!!

Lee I can`t wait to see the pics. I didn`t get a chance to walk the lot until Sunday!!

tdekany I charged my normal rates for the work. Products and process differed from car to car. Some wash/wax, some wash/polish/wax and some wash/clay/polish/wax.

I think I would`ve been right at home down there prepping the car. I like solitude when I work though so that:

1. You don`t see my (many) flaws

2. You don`t hear me cursing my fbody

3. Less of a tendency of liking other fbodies and loathing my own!

Ha....Still an awesome looking event...one of these days!

Any GM Big wigs like Scott Settlemire or others?

:LOLOL

Scott is actually there every single year. He`s the one that brings the two truck loads of GM vehicles. He will autograph anything you give him and hangs out and party`s with everyone at night. He is one of the most down to earth folks I know and very passionate about these cars. Heck...I`m a nobody that he sees once a year and yet he still remembers my name and my car!!

Scott is a good guy. He posed with me and my fbody club three years ago at SLP CAD at Englishtown, NJ.

He made a brief appearance up near me on the island a couple of years back, and even wrote to my club`s forum. I was mad though, because I couldn`t make it. Never enough time to....ok enough random rambling.

Very cool......I miss my SS......Great event Mike. I know you work hard and it surely has paid off for you.....Congrats:xyxthumbs

**SilverLexus** · 05-30-2005, 06:49 PM

I was very impressed with Mike`s mobile office: he`s got a generator, pressure washer and 6.5hp vacuum just in the trailer plus all the usual detailing supplies and MF and a special container for his boutique products for high end cars and Autopians.

The Denali is also something cool. Tons of legroom in back and it looks awesome in Zaino and the chrome front grill. You could live out of that thing.

The new Corvette which I will post pics of later was just fabulous in a custom silver which will be an option on the Z06. I`ve always liked the Vette but this is one that has me thinking seriously. Just magnificent curves and tasteful styling even in the interior. :xyxthumbs

Mike, I had an outstanding time at the show also. Thank you very much for letting we watch you and Jerry detail all those nice rides! I learned a lot from you guys.

And Mike, those crowds you spoke of that were around my car I think most were asking me questions about your beautiful WS6.

**sQuashed** · 05-31-2005, 07:21 AM

Very cool. Makes me miss my SS also.

**holland_patrick** · 05-31-2005, 07:32 AM

I just saw the pictures and went looking on e bay..

**Todd03Blown** · 06-01-2005, 07:45 AM

Mike - Great job as always. that F-body gathering looked like a great time for all; even though I am a Ford guy. Did you get rid of your lighting? Congrats again for Lola taking home 1st place:xyxthumbs

**1 Clean WS6** · 06-01-2005, 08:32 AM

Thanks again all!!

Todd...yes...the first week in March. I have to hire some help this season and the idea of driving around in a regular cab truck with another guy with all of our stuff just wasn`t appealing to me.

Here is a video put together by one of the members of the Lethally Injected F Body club. LIFB is one of our "younger" clubs and always an abosolute blast to party with. Even though the cars are no longer made its nice to see another generation aspire to own and mod them.

The video has some 18-21 year old humor and runs for about 10 1/2 minutes..
