the customer just bought the car from a friend who had it for several years but wasnt using it.
on short notice, we were able to give him exactly what he was looking for & more. there was a hot rod car meet tonight that he wanted to attend as well as a show on sunday. i didnt want to give up the job so i booked him anyway & put him off for the end of the day. i dont go out on sat nights so it doesnt bother me to stay late to finish up a car. we were done with a little before 8pm. he had just enough time to cruise through town & get to his car meet on time.
we decided just a nice polish would be done to bring up the shine of the red paint. the whole car was repainted but im not sure how recent that was. not much paint bled onto my polishing pad. there are still light swirls on the paint but the job didn't call for any compounding. i wish it did though or i wouldve been able to make this red paint even brighter than it did after the polish.
the customer was really happy with the job & thats all that matters.
i took a few pics before pulling it to the back to wash & clay. the car had light dust, it wasn't too dirty. there was a lot of dried up old wax in all of the moldings & name plate on the trunk. i had to go at it with a tooth pick & follow that up with a q-tip. i used a couple of 1" paint brushes to dig out the dried up wax from the rest of the car.

almost ready to polish.

the motor is in the back. the trunk is in the front, under the hood. theres these vents at the top of the trunk. i guess that's to cool down the engine bay. i didn't take any pics of the motor.
i dont like taking pics of dirty things unless i detail them afterwords.
when i looked under the hood all that was found was a motor & a spare tire wedged up in the far right corner of the engine bay. it was mounted almost on top of the motor.
i wonder why they didn't place it in the trunk. theres plenty of space under the hood for the tire & plenty of room around it for storage. the trunk is pretty big, i think its bigger than the engine bay.

johnny & humberto cleaning the interior.

the car was all ready for me to polish. johnny & humberto were almost finished with the interior. they can soon move out of my way & start working on other cars that were in the shop.
quick shot of henny after destroying her soccer ball.
