Rupes Visits Autogeek

Always great to see Todd come visit but sometimes it's more fun than others!

Like really, let Alberto work, why do you have to get in his way...

Really Mike too... you must me trying to hide something big.

Oh and Mike is now hiding this master piece... you better stay tuned!

Buffing curved panels with NEW RUPES Mark II BigFoot 21 & 15 Polishers

Todd, Alberto and I used the new tools today to do an extreme makeover on the above 1951 Mercury. I was very impressed with the tools after compounding and polishing the paint on this Merc.

We used production units and you can kind of see them here,

Looking forward to it.

Quick... Is Asia ready to copy this machine??? Was there time enough to recoup the $$$ from the last copy???

Take notes. Rupes is bringing out something new.

I saw an Australian knock off of a Rupes Mini. Lolz. Of course - it was used and for sale.

Thankfully, there is an innovative company like Rupes pushing the envelope and technology.

Time for me to apply for a new credit card, with SEMA around the corner.

Fit and finish on these new production units was top notch.

That's what we were working with all day long today. I think Todd said this project is the first to use the new tools in the U.S.

I cover these in my new how-to book too. See sig-line.
