To be considered the coolest thing I've coated, it has to be better than a mahogany speedboat that I did last year. What could top that? Well, how about a completely hand built, custom designed electric car that is based off of a 1930 Bugatti Roadster? What's better is that my 80 year old father has been working on this project for a few years. Instead of having it painted, he decided to wrap the body and wanted me to coat the wrap. Simple job that I accomplished easily with "Product not sold at Autogeek".
But first, let me show you Frankenstein's shop where it has come to life. The metal worker is world renown and has built at least one of the batmobiles. His shop is in his garage....but it is very, very deceiving from the outside. Check out your view of the garage from the road:
Looks like a typical 2 car garage from the front, doesn't it?? The side view is a little more telling:
Here is one view from inside showing the Bugatti:
Here is the car prior to being coated:
You can see it's still a work in progress. There are other pieces that go on the car (door, horse collar grille, etc) that I coated off the car. Here's what the wrap looked like coated:
The wheels got coated too:
One last thing. This idea came to me one day when I was cleaning my garage floor. I dreamed up the nickname "plugbug" for the car since it's an electric Bugatti replica. My father liked the idea so much that he rushed out and got this plate for it:
Anyway, I thought I would share it in spite of being nothing much to coat...just the wrap was it. Hope you enjoyed it. This thing is going to be blisteringly fast! Those tires will get turned into a smoke show with the power of the electric motors!!
