Thanks to all who noticed the work me and my brother did on the Lambo. I will try the camera tricks when I take the Chevelle pictures tomorrow. We didn't finish the Chevelle today. We finished up the M83 and finished the M80 also. One coat of Epic is drying overnight. Car is located in North Jersey. As far as racing, don't think there is much out there beating this thing, it is incredibly fast. Thanks for the help Heather when I called you on Tuesday for some info on applying the Amgio and Epic. Will be contacting you soon. For those who are gun shy on purchasing the Prima products, I highly recommend you try these products, you will be hooked.

Thank you for all the positive comments everyone..Yes you may have seen him on 78, he is located in North West New Jersey..The warehouse has flourescent lights all over the place so it was great to see all the imperfections to take them out. It is such a great time detailing this car and the owner is just a great guy to add. I am working on his Chevelle Sport(I believe it is a 1966 or 67'). I will post pics when I am done with it tomorrow.

Again job well done.
I knew there was somthing I forgot when doing this.
take advantage of the camera's self timer.
It will help a bunch!


Looking forward to deeing more of your work.

It might be 'crappy' (or it might not... it looks pretty nice compared to most warehouses I've ever worked in), but if it allowed the owner to buy that beautiful car, it can't be all bad! If the owner sells vinyl, he's gotta put some sort of graphic down the side... that way, he can write the depreciation and maintenance off as a business expense!

Nice job on the detailing. It's a stunner. I can't wait to see the Chevelle. I'd never want one... it's not my style... but I can definately appreciate old American muscle. Beautiful lines.
