1950 Panel Delivery - From neglected to respected


This is a car from one of my past classes. This car was really hammered.

We don't just work on classics and streetrods but they are a lot of fun for the class to learn on. Here's the link to get signed-up for one of our three 3-day classes here at Autogeek

I bet the curves on a classic car are better to learn how to machine polish properly than the mainly flat panel cars we have today.

To some degree, yes.

I try to bring in a diverse selection of cars for all my classes so the folks attending have a very well rounded experience.

Here's a good example of very diverse body styles. I obtained these 2 cars to showcase RUPES tools on curved panels and flat panels. Look how opposite these two cars are yet still cool - or at least Special Interest Vehicles

Curvy car - not a flat panel on this car

1947 Ford Streetrod

Flat as a board car...

1967 Chevelle
This car has the factory 427 BBC with dual quad carburetors and 4-Speed

And of course, in the real-world, both of these cars looked like crap when they arrived.

If anyone is sitting on the fence about the 3 Day class....DO IT! It was beyond my expectations but just be ready to work. We went 11 hour days since most of us showed up early.
Met some great folks and after the class most everyone, including Mike and Andre, went to hang out at the local Marriot. We had dinner and talked more shop.
You’re going to be exhausted when all is said and done but it was a Labor of Love!

I was at the Rupes class and the 3 day class. If you want to learn from a full spectrum instructor about all brands and Technics these are the classes to take. Every tool is used in these classes from entry level up to the newly released models. These classes are very welcoming even for a complete beginner. Also they never have snow or ice on the roads at these classes in February:buffing:
