Thanks for all the help Tim. We really knocked out some cool cars in the last 4.5 years here at AGO.

My schedule is very busy the first 4 months of the year so I'm not sure when I can start the Thursday Night Garage Classes up but I have a lot of cool cars in line to get a show car finish.


:D

[Chris@AutoCleanse]

And a big thank you to you for having all these cool cars to work on, you bring in some of the finest classics that people would dream of touching. Thanks for posting sharing the year in review.

[Bunky]

Nice collection. My favorite is the Fury. I owned one a long time ago.

[spiralout462]

Nice post! That green Chevy Pickup looks like a respray!!

I hope to be part of one of the boot camp classes this year!!!

Just to note... I always appreciate the long drive you make to help out with these cool project cars.

Thank you.

The Police Fury was a real challenge. What no one has seen yet are ALL the pictures I took of the people that attended my Detailing Boot Camp Class and MACHINE SANDED this car TWICE.

And for almost all of them it was their first time!

The write-up is from when "we" did the final polishing on a Thursday night AFTER the Boot Camp Class but it was my students in the boot camp class that wetsanded every square inch of this car.

I just have never had the time to go through the pictures and create the thread. :(

Here's the class that did the sanding to the Police Car....

Congratulations to this weekend's class for doing such an awesome job!

Well of course it's a respray... its a HOT ROD!

If you read the write-up I tell the history of the truck plus you can see all the before pictures that document just how HORRIBLE the paint was BEFORE the Autogeek Team worked their magic.

Funny story(not HA HA HA) about Jim`s Police car is there were two imperfections on the hood, more like discolorations.With the tutelage of Magic Mike we were able to remove them and to this day they have not surfaced.Jim`s car always turns heads and was the lead car in our local opening of a new 160 million dollar bridge.:buffing:
