Pictures: 5th Autogeek Cars & Coffee with Dennis Gage

I talked to the owner of this Black Cobra, forget the year but he told me there were only two ever built with an automatic....

The paint on this 1934 Ford Victoria looks pretty good from this side of the car....

From this angle you can see someone has buffed the paint out using a rotary buffer and left holograms in the paint...

Kind of busy this week but going to see about having this car back next week to do some product testing...

Here's another car that attended this last Saturday's Cars & Coffee....

We're going to have Bill back for an extreme makeover to share with all our local car guys what Autogeek is all about...


1991 Alfa Romeo Spider - Holograms from Hell


I couldn't make paint look this bad if you blindfolded me, tied one hand behind my back and made me buff this car with rocks and sand....


This is Bill and this is his 1991 Alfa Romeo Spider. Words cannot describe the pain my eyes felt when I finally had a chance to inspect the paint with the sun shining overhead.

This car will be back in the very near future for a redo....

The holograms just keep coming....

1964 1/2 Mustang - Holograms in new paint - Really?


Don Eddy is a local car guy and owner of a beautiful 1964 1/2 Mustang that has been in his family since it was purchased new. This last Saturday, Don attended our Cars & Coffee where I had a chance to take a fresh look at his Mustang.

Don was on the second season of our TV show, "What's in Autogeek's Garage" where we shared his Musting and Don's story along with my guest Sam Memmolo.

Since then, Don had the hood repainted by a local body shop and "yes" they did what most if not all body shops do, they buffed the new paint using ONLY a rotary buffer and probably a wool pad and left holograms in the paint.

The original single stage paint is suffering a little too from oxidation... so when we remove the holograms we'll also do some very light polishing to restore the clarity to the single stage paint so it more closely matches the new basecoat/clearcoat paint.

Wiper Scratch
There's also a scratch in the windshield on the driver's side. We'll take care of this for Don too while his car is here.

IF you've ever read my article,

It's not that hard...


That's the article I wrote to show with pictures to all the big strong guys out there that are afraid to buff their car by machine that it's not only not that hard but with the help of Autogeek it's also very safe...

IF you've read the above article, then you've met Don Eddy as he's one of the guys I show in the article and he's buffing out a 1967 Carmaro...

Don's been a good friend to everyone here at Autogeek and it will be a privilege to get his Mustang back up to Autogeek standards.

That's about it for pictures from last weekend's 5th Autogeek's Cars & Coffee....

Not only did we have a stellar turn-out of both cars and people but I've created enough work undoing other people's damage to keep busy for a while....

Here's two parting shots.... in case you ever wanted to see a close up of tire rubber after a 5-star burnout....


Here's some of Earl's tire...

Thanks for an excellent Cars and Coffee event, Mike. The Autogeek team provided the crowd with the same courteous service that we get when we order products. The hospitality was gracious and appreciated. Your tech session on cleaning glass was informative and helpful. Your demonstration of the Master Blaster blew me away (no pun intended). Special thanks for the pics. I was pleasantly surprised to see your great shot of my BMW 128i. Not too shabby for a "white" finish, huh? Thanks, again, for a great Saturday morning.

For me it's just the "idea" of a water cooled V8 in the front of the car. It's so opposite of what Porsche builds and what Porsche fans prefer. Call me a radical. To me it's the Porsche Hotrod.

The 928 is the "German Camaro", LOL! and Tony Montana's choice in Porsche too, he caused quite a ruckus down there over 30 years ago, I'm glad he wasn't driving a 911 for sure!

There's a reason Porsche fans prefer what Porsche used to build traditionally, a great example of the breed, something the 928 will never be:

I like that analogy....

I agree, the above 911 is beautiful as are a number of Porsche's I buffed out in my life, most of them documented on this forum or some other forum...

But I'm a BBC guy, just about everything I've ever owned has had a BBC or I've removed the small block and installed a BBC as I like the simplicity of Detroit Iron and the plentiful torque and horsepower of the Big Block Chevy.... whether it's in a car, truck or a boat....

This was my favorite big block Chevy, wrapped around by a Sanger Flat Bottom with a top speed over 120 miles per hour and it will get you there in about 3-4 seconds... on the water...

I should have never sold the boat...

Mabye this is why I have an affection for the 928?


:dunno:

 

[Klasse Act]

I like the BBC too, their version of Top Gear is best...















Oh wait, Big Block Chevy, LOL! Well Mike I like BIG too but I like BIG small blocks, like the 406 that I had in a 78' Caprice Classic 2 door. I street raced it for 3 yrs, sold it to my then boss where he took it to the track where it ran a 12.3@108 mph! A pump gas, hyd cam, dual plane, 1 5/8" headers w/ 2 1/4" exhaust LARGE CAR, NO NOS either, all engine!

I'm glad you didn't take any offense but I LOVE 930 TURBOS!
