Crap. I just moved to Orlando and have been looking for an excuse to visit. This is one of my favorite cars, but I will be in Atlanta that week! Curse this whole job thing. It gets in the way of my fun!

I have plenty of cool cars coming up and even another A.C. Cobra... no worries...

I'll be there.

Hi DiJuan,

Glad to see you can make it, you're a good with the buffer! I'll add you to the list.

Just to update, we're still on schedule to have this A.C. Cobra here this Thursday. Here's a few more pictures the owner sent me via his cell phone.










I've machine buffed a lot of A.C. Cobras in my life, most have been replicas but I've buffed out two that were the real deal. There a few things to look out for when buffing out these bodies and I'll point these out on Thursday night for everyone attending.

I haven't see it in person but like most special interest vehicles it's going to look worse than how it looks in pictures.

I remember how everyone thought this car looked great in pictures but in person it looked horrible!


Looks pretty good in the shade huh?





Here's how it looked in person...




Here are the pictures I took showing the true condition of the paint.....

I walked around the Zephyr and captured these swirl shots...




Here's how it looked when it left Autogeek's garage...









We're going to do the same thing for this Cobra and the Packard!

Hi Les,

Nice talking to you on the phone and looking forward to meeting you and checking out your Mercedes-Benz. I'm confident you will like machine polishing once you see how easy it is and the fabulous results you can achieve.
