Live Broadcast starts at 6:00pm

Date: Thursday, November 15th
Time: Starting at 5:00pm


Here's Tim and me in the studio after buffing out Tommy's Cuda...

1970 Barracuda Extreme Makeover





Tim has a incredibly nice 1957 Chevy, in these first pictures it's going to look pretty good, kind of like how Tommy's Cuda looked good before we buffed it out.















Here's what the paint really looks like everywhere throughout the body panesl...







Now get this...

Tim's 1957 Chevy has a single stage paint job and when I measured the paint thickness using the DeFelsko Paint Thickness Gage, (a very accurate 3% gage), it measured between 2.5 mils and 3.5 mils.




That's right, the paint is very thin, but don't freak out. While we can't do a lot to it... we can do a little... and Tim's been helping us out with our Thursday Night project cars and learning the art of polishing paint. Not only can he create a work of art but he knows how to keep it looking that way...

So stay tuned for this upcoming project...

Haven't decided yet but something very non-aggressive and we might eve do this project by hand to to be super careful.

Mike, if you will have me back I would love to help out on Tim's 57!

You're always welcome to our Thursday night project Paul...

***Update***


We've set the date for this project for Thursday, November 15th. Yancy will be here so this will be a *Live Broadcast*.


This is a thin, single stage paint but we're going to very carefully machine polish the paint sticking with some very safe polishes and only foam polishing and finishing pads. No compounds and no cutting pads.

We're also only going to use the Porter Cable style DA Polishers including,

• Porter Cable 7424XP
• Meguiar's G110v2
• Griot's Garage DA Polisher
• Shurhold DA Polisher

This will be a fun project so if you can clear your schedule, plan on being here...
