So last week i was in spring break and went to visit my grandma at her condo in stuart florida. I got really bored and decided im going to go and learn what i can from brian (vasupershine), todd was with the yankees... dont understand why he chose them over me.... :nixweiss lol. Anyways, me and brian went over a few things, wetsanding was my favorite. He tought me many things about how to do this and everything.



I dont have any pics of us doing it at his house but he concluded the whole car needed to be releveled. So i decided to do just that, with starting on the back. I dont have any before pics but i have some durings. here they are.

O believe me! I was sooo excited. It was a 3 hour drive there and 3 hours back. I would have done it if it was 6 hours there and 6 hours back. And he is a GREAT guy, along with an absolute amazing detailer. We also had thsi amazing pizza. Not sure who it was bye tho i forgot the name.
 
OOOOOO i just remembered why it sounds so familiar. My dads ex mechanic ,who is a really smart guy, Builds super high end hot rods. He got an award from chip foose in a show... his rod wasnt even completed.
 
I was going to try wetsanding on my other 9-3 convertible. It was from georgia and spent year in cali. Tons of bugs. The front looked like it was target practice for throwing rocks.. but it was totaled a month ago! :mad: and i never got a chance.



Great results on that, such a cute old lady
