GREAT JOB Dennis!!!!!

Where's the show? I've got the twin turbo Porsche 996 to do tomorrow morning and get to a small show tomorrow afternoon here in KC.

You'll really like the XMT stuff. I'm going to use the #2 light swirl remover tomorrow morning, followed by a coat of Wolfgang sealant.

See Ya!

Outstanding job Dennis, the 35 looks fabulous!

How many hours of effort to produce those kinds of results?

This one is Saturday in Emporia, ks. Is there anything going on Memorial Day in KC that attracts street rods?

Well the black coupe took Best Paint and the red coupe took major vender award. Best of show was taken by a trailered in real high dollar Willies. The judges couldn't believe the depth of my paint and the lack of swirls.
Here is a picture from the show.


Here is my next project. We are waiting for a XMT and plan to top with Souverian or Natty Blue. This one hardest one I have to choose which product looks best. I have tried NXT, UUP, Wolfgang, Zanio, Mothers, VMG, RMG, YMG and Natty Blue and it is hard to tell the difference between them.

I have said it before and will say it again...your cars look great! Nice job.
Trailered vehicles should be in a separate class.

The vette color is going to be a challenge. Very subtle tone.

[Meghan]

Cannot wait to see the vette, I bet it is going to glow when you are done!

My schedule may change as an independent BMW dealer has interviewed me to wet sand and/or paint prep $$$ euro cars that he buys. It's part time (which I like as I already have a full time job), pays well, and he will teach me wet sanding (which I know zero about). I'm talking to him Thursday and that will determine which shows I go to (if any).

Great Show Results for Ya Dennis! Going against trailered cars is extremely tough (and one sided IMO). I attend some mustang shows and there is a same year Mach as mine with 500 miles on it (after 3 whole years). Tough to compete against this, but I have a good time anyway.

Take Care Sir

Dennis--Is the 35 a kit car or an original rebuilt? Do you do the building/restoring yourself?
