When the owner and his wife dropped it off the owner's wife commented about how she didn't think the paint looked that bad on the Chevelle or any of the cars.
Then I put a swirl finder light on the Chevelle, the 1950 Ford, the 2007 SRT SuperBird and the 1949 Cadillac and explained that in order to evaluate the true condition of a car's paint you have to know how to properly inspect it.
Not only do all of these cars have swirls and scratches, I've already done the Baggie Test on all 4 of these cars and they are all heavily contaminated.
We'll be using multiple methods to decontaminate the paint.

I agree.... Anyone that attends our classes here at Autogeek not only learns a lot but gets to work on cool cars. Not simply rental cars or demo panels.
It's the real deal....

Mike,
Does that Chevelle have a set of non-factory speakers in the back deck? If so, what kind are they? Stereo brand?
This car is looking very familiar, but I'm thinking the color is a little darker than the car I'm thinking of?

This right here, Mike, is a perfect example of why it's so important to take the "before" pictures correctly. In the first picture, the car looks to be in good shape. You can take 500 pictures of a car but if you don't capture the defects your after pictures are not nearly as valuable.

I always try to get the before shots.
Going to be a very busy three days starting tomorrow.
Normally the week after the class I do my best to get up pictures showing the,
For each project and tool set but next few weeks I have other hot projects for SEMA and Competition Ready that's going to take up all my time.
