Simply stunning work and write up Josh. I learned a ton....Very well put together.

Glad I did the write up, I was afraid it would be too long and people would just skip to the end for the after pics....glad you enjoyed it.

Top notch write up, and an even better job on the car. This is one of the all-time great write ups on here.

:woohoo: Awesome job on that beast. The owner truly loves that car as you can tell in the pictures. I`m sure you made a friend after this detail :xyxthumbs



Did he have any cool stories to tell you during your visit?





A bit off topic but man that is a terrible location for a gas meter. That thing is just begging to be backed into and busted.

Thanks, he did have some cool stories but after 4 days of talking and polishing I`ve forgotten.....(plus I just got back from a Houston trip where I did a Carrera GT and a GT3RS so I don`t remember much beyond that )



I did ask quite a few questions about painting and prep work involved iso I could learn how to do my job more correctly.:xyxthumbs



Yea, that gas meter is in a bad location, really takes away from the pics too.



I`ll be doing his old Nomad next and then the black 57 vette you see in the background once he gets it repainted.



Great guy, we definately became friends.



Thanks, Josh

Engine completed with exhaust manifold covers and painted valve covers.















A few pics from in the garage like I took origionally when it was all sanded....

































More pics to come

It`s hard to see, but I just happen to catch an airplane flying overhead.











































More pics to come...

[imported_JoshVette]

Here you can really see the clearity in the paint in the reflection of the antenna.









Again, another crystal clear reflection.















































































The End.

Great pics, Josh.



I love that engine...not so sure about the color choice for the valve covers and such, but regardless, it`s done very well.
