3 Model T's, 55 Bel Air, Viper, & Ferrari

[Tex Star Detail]

ok folks....

I did 3 today. Owner said they do not need to be finished until Saturday morning...... WHEW!

So today, I did the 55 Bel Air, 1919 Model T (wood), and the 19?? Model A pickup. And yes, I drove all three, and yes, I was scared as hell, and yes, it was awkward.
I will be going back in the morning to do the Viper, Ferrari, and the other Model A.
It was fun and frustrating!

I will post up pictures and processes later this evening. I just got home and I am HUNGRY! :cheers:

1955 Chevy..
Not too bad

I touched up the engine. Didn't detail it, just knocked off the dust.

1919 Model T

The wood was covered with mildew. It took me 2.5 hours alone on the wood to bring it back to life. Wood everywhere!!!!!!!!!

Befores-
you can see the difference in the wood. I did one panel and the others are uncleaned

ENGINE-

I won't touch it.....

Only 2 interiors of the Model A Pickup. Will get more tomorrow..

He said he has A LOT more cars for me to do.
One of which was a Cover car for, I think, Hot Rod Magazine in 2004.
A 193? Ford with a Vette running gear.

Anyone want to look up the 2004 covers?

Does he want those other cars he has done by Saturday morning too?

Great job!

WOW TexasTB great job! Every nice work! I love seeing those old cars, thanks for sharing!

The 1919 Model T to me is just so purdy I love it's simplicity. The manual wipers are just awesome.

You stumbled into a gold mine there Bud! Nice work and very tedious I'm sure.
I love the '55 Chevy Ragtop, that was Chevy's first V-8 engine.

drift with the wooden ford....lol

More pics are uploading of the Viper and Ferrari. I didn't get to the other Model A, but I will tomorrow morning. Instead, he had me detail a 1950(1?) John Deer Tractor. Those pics are uploading as well.

So, tomorrow is the Model A and a golf cart...lol, yea, a golf cart.

He said he has several other vehicles he is bringing to his place, one is a new Ferrari. As well as several classic motorcycles.

I'm trying to find his 1933 Ford online. Has a corvette running gear, leather floor and upholstery, etc.... he showed me a pic.... SWEEEEET

WOW TexasTB you have done some great work! The red on the Viper and Ferrari is just stunning, great shine, still looks wet. The poor leather seats on the drivers side of the Ferrari was just awful in the before pics. How did it turn out? The John Deer looks great too! Funny... your going to do a golf cart after all of those great cars Those were some great turnarounds, thanks for taking the time to share!

OK, this is one seriously hardcore detailing session! First of all, I wouldn't like the fact that I'd have to detail under the trees, so props to that! I wonder why he just didn't let you do it in his storage building?

Also, what did you use on the wood and on the John Deere?
