Cars for Second Season of "What's in the Garage" TV Show - Thread #3

We start shooting our second season on January 9th, 2012 and we're going to a lot of cool cars.


What we're looking for...

We're looking for a wide spectrum of vehicles to choose from, this means new, exotic, classics, hotrods, streetrods, antiques, basically anything you could call Special Interest.


Here are a few more criteria for having your car on our TV show.

• Vehicle must lend itself well to a detailing tip or technique.
• Vehicle must be in in good physical condition, that is no dents or wrecks
• Vehicle must be brought to Autogeek's facilities the wees we're shooting.

The link to this thread is being sent to all the owners of these cars as well as the producers and sponsors of our TV show. The producers make the final decision on which cars make the cut along with my recommendations.


Request for help from the owners of the cars below. If you see the words,

Need contact info

above the picture of a car, this means I need a name, phone number and/or e-mail address for the owner of the car. If recognize a car below and know the owner then please either have them contact me or give me a call.

My good friend Jay just sent me pictures of his 1989 K5 Blazer which is getting a custom paint job and then some new upgrades.

Because he's my friend and like me a fan of Chevy Blazers, I've offered to give him a hand with the sanding, cutting and buffing of the new paint job. You can hire the best painter in the world to spray the paint but here's the facts and you can quote me on this...

It's the person that does the wetsanding, cutting and buffing that makes or breaks the paint job ​

Since his Blazer will have a brand new paint job at the time we film our first week's show I'm thinking we can include a segment on how to sand and buff fresh paint...

I know there's a lot of "Car Guys" in the car world that want to know how to do this step right because you really only have once chance. Plus, here at Autogeek we carry everything a person needs to wetsand, cut and polish fresh paint to a show car finish, which is what Jay's always wanted for his Blazer.

• Rotary buffers
• Wool Cutting Pads
• Cutting Compounds
• Polishes
• Foam pads
• DA Polisher
• Air DA's for machine sanding
• Electric DA's for machine sanding
• Sanding Discs
• Hand sanding papers and backing pads
• Masking tape
• Cover-up Towels

We carry everything a person needs to tackle a wetsand, cut and buff plus the facilities to do and showcase it.
