Hi Adam,

Yes, we're still on for tomorrow night.

Sharif sent me an e-mail saying he'll be here plus some of the guys from Gweed's Gangsters will be here as they want to learn how to machine polish their streetrods.

If we're not up to full battalion strength we're going to use a one-step cleaner/wax. The paint on this Studebaker is single stage black enamel or lacquer and from experience, this is the softest paint there is to polish so a good cleaner/wax will do a spectacular job when applied by machine.

This going to be fun and a great way to end the first year of "Autogeek's Car of the Week". Plus... Alexis will be stopping by to inspect work so I expect everyone to be their best.

Man! I have got to move closer to Stuart. The last car of the year, and possibly one of the coolest. And the last brunette Swirl Girl of the year, and possibly one of the hottest! Maybe next year.

There probably won't be any time for project cars in January and the first two weeks of February as we're shooting our second season of our TV show and in January I'm teaching 4 classes at the Mobile Tech Expo so I'll be out of the office for 4 days for that including a Thursday night and then my Detailing Bootcamp classes at the end of January and then we roll into another week of shooting TV episodes...

So this really will be the last one for some time and as soon as we can we'll pick back up in 2012....

Maybe we can do a project car the Thursday before Detail Fest starts for anyone that wants to help out and can get here a day early...

Just talked to Gary, he might stop by and check out our operation.

Gary's 1940 Chevy Coupe
Besides all the other customizations Gary also is running the rear fender skirts which you rarely ever see on these old Chevy coups and it gives the car a real cool look...
