You're right. I just looked at the current price. DOH!

 

[Austin]

That is very cool Ken! I've considered going with something like that as my business grows up - talk about advertising perfection.

 

[m78]

Nice but i still don't get the lowering look.

 

[SuperCab]

I would love a 50s panel truck.

 

[Beach66Bum]

This would be a good company car for your business:

Plenty of room for your tools and such.

beautiful truck, but.......a crate 350 engine

 

[Beach66Bum]

Nice but i still don't get the lowering look.

and the 350 engine

 

[m78]

I have nothing against a chevy 350. Until it's put in a ford.
They work great in CJ's.

ya, that's the point I was making, I just don't get it. See the 350 put in old Datsun trucks, Vega's, jeeps, etc. but don't like seeing a 350 in a Ford

 

[Austin]

I love a good SBC, just in anything but a Ford or Mopar unit... sacrilege!

Anywho, I've been busy:

Waterless wash, clay, carnauba, and basic interior on the BMW. Rinseless wash, clay, refresh polish, touchless sealant, and leather steam on the Lexus. All done in a matter of half a day with minimal water waste. Talk about efficient!











Super nice garage, too. Crown moulding and can lights!



Also managed to get a mini detail done. That's three cars in six hours! I'm beat!!

(Wash, touchless sealant - ask Ken about how his wife's Expedition beads in the rain - interior wipedown and dressing, vac.) Started at 11:30, got number three delivered at 7:05. (transport and drivetime in between jobs accounts for a lot of my day)

Swirl reduction on this Expi.



A proper polish makes for great clarity!



I spy a racecar.



Scratches...



Gone!



Trim restoration.



Done!



Reflections for days!

 

[Austin]

Full interior, polish, wax, headlight restoration, and trim restoration. Slammed this one out and only took two pictures!

 

[Austin]

So the collection of supercars started as subcontracting work and is now my personal account (more $$$ in my pocket).









Picked up an old Keystone rim from a buddy to prove him wrong. He says they can't be restored; I beg to differ.



Did some work on the black 95 Stang. Should have it done by the end of next week and back to its home.



Booked my first RV. Will be in my driveway Thursday (what happened to staying away from big vehicles for a while?!)

 

[fatherdoug]

Do you need a dealer's license to transport those vehicles back and forth?

Will you have to remove the tire/stem to get at the rust?

And, do you need a driver to get the Ferrari back to its owner?

 

[Austin]

No, yes, and no.

 

[taxreliever]

Dang, that RV is as bad as the big rigs you've done! Glad some of those supercars are your personal clients now....very cool!

 

[Austin]

It's pretty rough but should come out nicely. I'm stoked about the new account. It means I can now 'officially' share media of the cars, too without feeling like I'm stealing somebody's sales property.

 

[LEB Ben]

That sub-contract work the stuff we were talking about??? Congrats on landing it either way.

 

[Austin]

Working on the RV today!

 

[Austin]

Made some good progress. Tomorrow is a full wash on the sides with the slides out, then on to determining the polishing process.

 

[fatherdoug]

Wow! What a difference. You have a REAL talent, Austin!
