Last Project Car for 2011 - 1951 Studebaker - Extreme Makeover!


This will be the last project car we work on this year and it might be the last Autogeek's Car of the Week" project for a while as January is incredibly busy with Autogeek's TV shooting, Mobil Tech Expo and my Detailing Bootcamp class.

So if you want to have some fun, clear your schedule and be here this Thursday starting at 5:00pm.


Here's Jim's 1951 Studebaker... the paint is single stage black and 100% completely thrashed...





















Here's a side shot of the rear fender with no flash... paint doesn't look to bad from this perspective...



Here's the same shot with the flash on... ouch... kind of hurts your eyes to look at swirls on such a cool classic car...



Here's the original Flathead 6 engine...



I'm sure I've worked on cars in worse condition but to be honest I can't remember when... that's how bad the paint is on this car...

The opportunity to work on cool cars with single stage paint is becoming more and more rare, it's truly a treat. If you're in the Stuart area, this will be a great project to be a part of...


We start at 5:00pm sharp! If you want to join in the fun then reply to this thread...


Here's where the action takes place...

Autogeek's Garage
7744 SW Jack James Drive
Stuart, FL 34997
Mapquest Driving Directions


The door to the right of the garage door is the entrance to our TV Studio where we conduct these events.

Very cool example of: Cars of Yesteryear! They don't make 'em with these kind of stylish lines very often, anymore.

What a great Christmas gift this make-over will offer for either the current owner; or, by the looks of the For Sale sign, the one that buys this Classic.

Can't wait to see the finished results!

That is if I get enough people to sign-up. There's no way I can do this project by myself in a short amount of time, it's just to hacked-up...

Sent an e-mail to the "A-Team", (Autogeek Team), that's the regulars that join in the fun.

Since it's very close to Christmas it's very possible that everyone is busy or travelling... if so then we'll cancel till next year.
