Mike, that 55 is a beauty. I'm sure you and your crew will do it justice. I owned two back when I was just starting to drive. they were affordable back them, but not anymore .
In 1967 I bought a 55 two door post with 29,000 miles for $125 dollars . anyway can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks Carlo.
I have not seen the car in person yet, the owner texted me the picture.
But - he's been to some of my Tech Sessions at our Cars & Coffee car shows over the YEARS and knows what a nice finish looks like and what a finish that needs help looks like and he told me the black paint on the 1955 Chevy needs help.
He recently bought it and the condition it's in is how it was when he bought it.

The cars are nice looking but the pictures don’t tell the whole truth. Once the swirl finder light is pulled out we will see the real horror stories of these nice looking cars. This class will have some excellent cars to bring back into shape.

Correctamundo....
All the cars I bring in for these classes are usually in horrible condition. Just because a "Car Guy" owns a cool car that rarely, from my experience, also means they know how to "touch" the paint. In fact, I'd say most car owners know minimal about how to correctly do anything for their car's paint except use a quick detailer or a duster.
The paint on the 1941 Chrysler is actually in pretty good shape. I buffed it out 4 years ago and it's been sitting parked most of the time afterwards. I does have some overspray on it and it does have some light RIDS here and there.
But here's the deal- when I buffed it out I showcased Pinnacle Synergy Paste Wax. The January class is going to waterless, clay and then machine polish this streetrod to prep it for a ceramic paint coating. So doesn't matter the condition - it's going to get the full meal deal IN ORDER to correctly apply a ceramic paint coating.
Hope you're doing well Guy!

***Update***
Just added a 1965 Corvette to the first post in this thread. This Corvette was supposed to be at the September 3-day class but a mechanical issue prevented the owner from driving it to Autogeek. Just spoke to the owner and the car is all back together and good to go!
