All beautiful cars but my favorite has always been a Shelby in white with blue stripes. I had 2 70 Mustangs painted like that. A Fastback and a Mach 1 Fastback. Like a fool I sold them.

I've always liked the 1965 and 1966 Mustang Fastbacks with the white wit blue stripes color scheme.

Like 1967 Fastbacks and also the 1971-1973 Mach I's

To me the most beautiful Mustang was the 65-66 Fastback. Especially the Shelby's White w/ Blue stripes. I don't know why the car companies thought that bigger was better back then. Every other year they made them bigger. To me the 71-73's just got way too big, but I do admit there is a soft spot in my heart for the Mach 1's of that era. Just saw a beautiful Red with Black accents 71 Mach 1 on one of the auctions on Speed or Velocity. That era Mach 1 is still affordable and future collectible. The 69-70's have priced themselves out of my reach. I had a 70 Mach 1, 351-C Factory Hurst 4 Speed, you name it. It was dark green with black Mach-1 accent stripes. My Dad and I took it completely apart, cleaned it up and painted it the Shelby white with blue stripes. It was gorgeous. I sold it when my daughter was born to buy a Safe Saab 900. I sold it for $2800. Today it would easily be worth $50-75K. I will always regret that.

No.

It's standard protocol in the US TV industry that the video of a TV show is not available to the client until after the episode airs. There are other rules too all by the networks. We do upload it as soon as it is made available to us. (Something we don't control)

Wow. That Mustang is spectacular.
Always loved '60s Mustangs, but Shelby takes them all to a whole 'nother level.
Will have to see if I can find the show on my listings and watch or DVR.

Of course! You know I wouldn't miss an episode.
I found it was interesting to see the basics of "jeweling". I've read a bunch of posts here on the subject, but a video clip is worth a thousand words. For education of the general public, it would have been nice to devote a bit more time to the sealant vs wax discussion. Personally, I thought the Flex segment was a bit of overselling, especially when it was immediately followed by a Flex commercial. As I've stated before, treading that fine line between information and cheesy infomercial certainly isn't easy, and that segment stepped over the line.
Just my opinion.

If we do a 3rd season there will definitely be changes to the format taken from what we've learned from season #2 :xyxthumbs:

Good feedback Bill.

One thing for sure, watching and re-watching yourself on video is a great way to learn about what not to do the next time and what areas to strengthen.

If you watch the segment on the black Chrysler Imperial where I remove the swirls, scratches and water spots, in the segment I completely removed all the defects out of the soft single stage black paint. The camera team didn't capture the before and after difference.

I have found that with every TV production company I've worked with I've had to do my best to teach them


A. What a show car finish really looks like

B. How to capture the results with the "light" showcasing the before and after differences.


In person the results were dramatic, on camera there was no "wow" factor.

When we release our new Flex DVD you can see what I mean because Yancy is very good at capturing before and after results with cameras and lighting. And to be honest, it's this before and after results that are the "Money Shots" because otherwise the viewing audience won't understand what the entire point is behind proper paint polishing whether done by hand or machine.

Here's an example of Dennis Gage's team actually getting the shot...

I've done more work with Dennis's team on getting the before and after results and they now do a pretty good job...
