1969 Roadrunner...aka...Ragingbird!!!!

[Sizzle Chest]

I was at the Barrett-Jackson auction for a few days last week/weekend and had the opportunity to detail this crazy creation from Bairs Customs!

It's a on-off custom build, 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner. Sherwin-Williams custom paint color-Purple Rage, blown big inch hemi, discs all the way around, plenty of carbon fiber, big wheels, etc thru and thru.

This was the debut of the vehicle and it was being shown in the Dodge booth/area of the auction. It was fresh out of the shop and paint booth and had a few issues. Sanding marks, some scratches and plenty of swirls.

It needed to look GREAT for the display as well as for it's debut at the Palm Beach Cars and Coffee on Sunday.

It was cut with Adam's polishes fast correcting compound, MF pads, Swirl Killer polisher (both 15mm full size and their mini) along with Adam's correcting polish and finishing polish with the corresponding pads.


It took some time to cover all the real estate, but in the end, the results were worth it!!

Beautiful work Scott...


Custom car builders are lucky to have talented and knowledgeable guys like you to perfect their work.

I'm amazed at how much of an impact detailers, both pro and enthusiasts are making in the show car world, especially in the last 10 years.


My guess is the plethora of information available via discussion forums, facebook and youtube.


Nice work buddy!
