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..

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.

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.
 
:bow :bow :bow So cool! Definitely in for the rest of the pictures.



For such an amazing line-up of cars, the owner sure doesn't take care of them very well.
 
Agreed with the others... those are some awesome vehicles but their car is horrible. That Viper looked like it was 20 years old! I remember when those first came out and how amazed I was, but now it looks so dated. I guess I didn't realize how much they have been redesigned since those early models.



Great details to keep you busy. :up

Keep up the good work! This thread makes me want a Viper, and I can't stand the car.
