800HP WS6 Trans am gets a new look!

**Justins00ss** · 04-19-2018, 10:13 AM

So some of you may remember this WS6 I did last year. It was in very rough shape and I was able to make it look presentable to hold over the owner until he decided to blow it all apart over the winter and paint it and that`s exactly what he decided to do! And he added some flavor to it by adding some nice gray accents. He took care of the initial orange peel removal and brought it to me for the final clean up and polishing. We held off on coating it right now because he sprayed a new type of clear coat and he wants to be sure it will hold up over the next few months and not do anything funky. It will be back for a coating once he is satisfied with the durability of the new clear coat.

Engine bay- Ammo NYC FROTHe/ brushes/ light rinse with hose and Hyper dressing to finish

Wheels/Tires- The existing chrome wheels are hurting a bit and will be getting replaced soon. Mckees foaming wheel cleaner gel, LATA, Hyper dressing.

Wash- AMMO NYC FROTHe waterless

Polishing- Rupes Duetto/Adams swirl killer mini- Hyper polish, Rupes yellow pad. Some areas got M205, microfiber cutting pad first.

Looks great!! I don`t believe anyone with a car like that would let the engine bay get that bad.

You guys need to understand that it spent all winter torn apart in a body shop. That`s all body shop dust. Trust me when I say that it doesn`t take long to get Dusty lol.

+! on that Body Shop Dust !!!!
That`s why we go out and blow the entire interior out with a high pressure coupler from one side and out the other and then the other direction, to just get it ready for a wipe down, etc..
Nothing worse than Body Shop Dust and that pesky overspray when people aren`t careful...

Justin -- man you Killed IT !!!!
Awesome job !!!
Thank you for all that hard work, then pics, then video, then editing, then posting it all up..

Thanks Dan! I knew it was going to be dusty etc. Overall the car really wasn`t that bad. When he popped up the hood my heart sank and he just gave me the "oh crap, I`m in trouble look!" Haha.

Nice job! Man, that`s such a shame it got that bad in the shop. Too bad they couldn`t move it somewhere else! Came out great!!! Procharger?

Thanks bud. Yeah it`s a 416 stroker, LS3 ported heads, blower cam, F1A procharger, dual nozzle methanol injection etc etc. Made 800+whp on a mustang Dyno.

The car is a blast to drive. He demanded I take it out when he dropped off. Don`t need to twist my arm lol.
