1919 Model T, 2 Model A`s, Ferrari, Viper, Belaire, Tractor, & Golf Cart

[imported_Tex Star Detail]

Well, I did these vehicles a few weeks ago, and forgot to post over here.



Got a call from a Clients Secretary, informing me that her Boss needed a few vehicles detailed up. She had no idea what they were, except for "classic sports cars." I drove 30 minutes to take a look at them, and was floored. Here was the line up....

199? Dodge Viper, less than 1300 miles.

1983 Ferrari, @30,000 miles

1955 Belaire, 2dr. convertible, restored 15 years prior

2 Model A`s, not sure of the years, one a truck and one a car

1919 Model T

1950 or 51 John Deere Tractor

and last, but not least, a golf cart.



I received the call the day before they needed them done for a special event at his mansion.

I was informed they needed to be FULLY Detailed in ONE day. No way that was going to happen, but I`d do what I could. I showed up on Thursday Morning and thankfully, said they weren`t needed until that Saturday bu Noon. A weight off my back, but still a very tight time crunch. I informed him that I will "one-step" many of them in order to complete them in the given dead-line. I was giving the OK.



The cars have been siting for a couple of years (inside), so they were pretty dusty and dirty. He recently built a big showroom, I guess for them. Now don`t get me wrong, they are no where near perfect condition. I had a few more days, I could have had them looking better.



Any ways, enough with the typing.... On with the pictures. Stay with me here, I`ll post the processes at the end....



These were when I initially looked at them..



Sorry about the low quality pics, but I couldn`t get the setting right..

Not too bad

















I touched up the engine. Didn`t detail it, just knocked off the dust.

1919 Model T



The wood was covered with mildew. It took me 2.5 hours alone on the wood to bring it back to life. Wood everywhere!!!!!!!!!



Befores-

you can see the difference in the wood. I did one panel and the others are uncleaned

OK, here are the processes.

"I used Car Brite products, so if you see "CB", that means Car Brite."

I wouldn`t say these came out perfect at all, given the time I was given.

If I had more time, I could have easily spent 6-7 hours per vehicle, if not more on a few of them.



All in all, he was satisfied, so I was satisfied at what I had accomplished.

[imported_Tex Star Detail]

He has several other vehicles, including a new Ferrari and a Ford Coupe Show car. Has a corvette running gear. He also has several old Motorcycles. He did not have them their, but is getting them shipped, I believe, from his place in Houston.

He is well known, but I won`t give out his name. I will tell you though, that he is President of (blank) with Exxon Oil......





Thanks for looking.
