He's offered to let us use the Zeypher on our TV show too...

I have not seen the paint condition yet but like about 99.999999% of every car that rolls into the studio there's at a minimum some level of room for improvement.

The large, smooth panels and lack of any plastic trim like new cars have will make machine polishing this rolling work of art a pure joy to work on...

The running boards are molded into the body so there's very few seams and zero plastic trim. The body panels are large, flat and smooth. Some people think I only like to to buff out muscle cars and classics because I like muscle cars and classics but that's not entirely true... I love buffing out muscle cars and classics because they're so easy to buff out as compared to modern cars or even exotic cars, (which are modern or new).

Yeah... this is going to be a walk in the park and very enjoyable as far as buffing out "cars" goes...

Thanks for the link to the Scrape story Mike. Somehow, I missed it when it was first posted. I remember Terry Cook from his days at Petersen and never knew he was such a Lead Sled fanatic until after he left. He really hit the mark with Scrape. It may be a caricature, but it's the absolute consummate fat fender custom.

I agree with all of the above.

I worked with Terry for about a year at a dozen car shows, mostly taking care of Scrape and promoting the Absorber.

When I flew down to Monterey to sand and buff out the Titanic that was a blast, even more fun was driving the Titanic around and then hanging out with Chip, Titus and Terry Cook.


Like I posted earlier, I have not seen the quality of the finish on Frank's Zephyr but the first thing we're going to do is give the paint a very thorough inspection and I'll do my best to document the true and accurate condition of the paint.

We're doing the Zephyr on Saturday and I'm trying to reach Jim, the owner of the Studebaker to make sure he can have it here next Thursday night.

Just a reminder this is coming up this Saturday...

If there's a cancellation on the part of the owner I'll post that ASAP but so far we're good to go...
