Mike,
Two questions,
1) Did you (maybe, hope) get a sound bite of that critter?
Yes I did. I have two more iPhone videos taken that day but the one with the engine running will need a little editing because I fumbled my fingers with the awkward start and stop button. I'll see if Yancy can extract the pertinent part. If not, I can visit the truck and snag a new video as this engine, a 900 Horsepower old school Hemi sounds just as WICKED as it looks!
2) Is there any way there could be a static web cam set up so 'we' could watch?
Again, GREAT WORK to all!
Bill
That's something we've played with in the past and are open to they idea today but so far no matter how we try to structure it there's a cost associated with the broadcast. Just to note, in order to do "good" business, a company has to make a profit. If a company doesn't make a profit that's called doing "bad" business and then they go out of business and that doesn't help anyone.
We're here to help by providing the best in class products with the best in class service at the best prices shipped right to you door. Providing best in class information and education is also our goal we just need to find a "win/win" business model that works for everyone.
But... we are working on it...
Question?
I wonder how many people would be interested in watching over the Internet when we machine buff-out this car?
This is another true show car in every sense of the word and while I was walking around the
Gold Coast Corvette Club - First Annual Car Show I couldn't properly inspect the paint because the car was parked in the shade...
Here's my guess though... although it's a show car, chances are very good that since coming out of the paint booth, then being sanded cut and polished, and then being detailed by various detailers and wiped down multiple times by various people using who knows what... chances are very good that while it looks great there's room for improvement.

This is Franklin Feiler's 1939 Lincoln Zephyr built by Superior Custom Classics in Hudson, Florida. The paint color is
House of Colors Sunset Orange.
The average person looking at Glen's 1954 Ford F-100, which is also a show truck, no one would have guessed the paint was horribly contaminated and completely swirled out when properly diagnosed and inspected.

Rotary Buffer Swirls everywhere in the paint, even the roof and the doors...
This shot was taken with my trusty, dusty Canon Rebel with the flash on after claying just HALF the roof...
For the
how-to book I needed very specific categories of "paint condition" so when talking to people about the condition of their car's paint we could all be on the same page. What I came up with was 11 categories as you can see here on page 37 of the first printing...
The paint on this custom hotrod pick-up fell into category
2. Excellent Condition and what we did was to restore it to category
1. Show Car Quality.
My guess is that the paint on the 1939 Lincoln Zephyr is in Category 2 and again, our goal will be to restore it to Category 1.
