    Thanks for the link to the Scrape story Mike. Somehow, I missed it when it was first posted. I remember Terry Cook from his days at Petersen and never knew he was such a Lead Sled fanatic until after he left. He really hit the mark with Scrape. It may be a caricature, but it's the absolute consummate fat fender custom.

    I agree with all of the above.

    I worked with Terry for about a year at a dozen car shows, mostly taking care of Scrape and promoting the Absorber.

    When I flew down to Monterey to sand and buff out the Titanic that was a blast, even more fun was driving the Titanic around and then hanging out with Chip, Titus and Terry Cook.


    Like I posted earlier, I have not seen the quality of the finish on Frank's Zephyr but the first thing we're going to do is give the paint a very thorough inspection and I'll do my best to document the true and accurate condition of the paint.

    We're doing the Zephyr on Saturday and I'm trying to reach Jim, the owner of the Studebaker to make sure he can have it here next Thursday night.

    Two very distinctive looking cars for next week...

    Just a reminder this is coming up this Saturday...

    If there's a cancellation on the part of the owner I'll post that ASAP but so far we're good to go...

    ***Update***

    Due to scheduling conflicts, this project has been moved to this Friday starting around 10:00am and going to around 2:00pm to 3:00pm

    I know some of you have been looking forward to this project for some time and won't be able to attend during a weekday and I apologize for this but it's my responsibility to first cater to the schedule of the owners of our project cars.


    Thanks for understanding....

    23 hours and counting...

    Just a few weeks ago we had this very cool 1934 Ford in our studio for a "Show Car Makeover"






    And now this incredibly cool 1939 Lincoln Zeypher....

    I'm in heaven!

    Can't wait to share pictures of the finished work...

    Any minute now... this 1939 Lincoln Zephyr will be arriving at Autogeek's Show Car Garage Studio!





    The sun is hiding behind clouds today so we'll have to use the Brinkmann Swirl Finder Light to inspect the paint. So often true show cars like this one look great from a short distance or to the untrained eye but car detailing enthusiasts like our forum members tend to have higher standards and more critical eyes.

    One thing for sure though, nothing looks better than a freshly waxed car. If the paint is in excellent condition then we're still going to do a light polishing and then waxing. The light polishing will remove any previously applied waxes or glossing agents from spray detailers as well as remove any light scratches or marring from being repeatedly wiped down.

    Then we're going to machine apply a coat of Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax.

    After we're done, the lovely Nicole from the below project will be here to inspect our work...
