Good job on the red paint! :2thumbs:

:har:

Todd, Having seen you work a black Ferrari 430`s paint to a gloss like no other in the past, I am still quite impressed w/ your dedication and hard work on this project. I think its great that you take the time to show each step you perform so that others can learn from your process.

The scary thing is the BBi was an evolution of a design that orginally debuted in 1974... But you have to love the `84 Vettes as well, there is something so "A"Team about them

Thanks Puck! The car will be trailer, and isn`t really going to be driven until after Cavallino in January. After it wins platinum (fingers crossed) then it will return to road duty where it belongs!

Thanks Bryan, you did get me with the usual four word response. Quite the trickster!

I can`t believe how good the interior looks, did you bring a team of experts in to spend multiple hours on it or something?

**Scottwax** · 10-19-2007, 05:45 PM

Absolutely superb detail and write-up! Looks as perfect as a 23-year-old car can!

Thanks Scott!

I will have more pictures up Sunday or Monday, as Sunday is the first show. Brian (VASuperiorShine) and myself just spent another 6 hours on the car yesterday, making sure it is ready. I think it will literaly blow people away!

WISH ME LUCK GUYS!!!

Looks like Alfred is going to the bat cave and jumping in the batmobile to take care of some judges:bat , but will wait for the final results.

**Brian_Brice** · 10-21-2007, 08:38 PM

Todd, even though I only attacked the interior, I was proud to stand by that machine at the show today. Very cool cars were in attendance, many of which are in dire need of a pro`s touch as I could tell "when" the sun was out.

**Old Pirate** · 10-21-2007, 08:42 PM

That sounds great for business!

**stiffdogg06** · 10-21-2007, 09:36 PM

Does the motor have to run to determine ranking as well?

I like when cars like these are driven in. Like the old fashion car shows. :2thumbs: :p

But then again, we`re detailers. So we like to lessen the chance of any dirt getting on the car.
