So this car belongs to a local racer and car guy. A while back he was dealt a devastating blow when he went in for back surgery and came out paralyzed from the waste down. There is some hope for recovery. Being the car guy and racer he is he wasn't going to let that stand in his way. The chassis shop that did a lot of the work on the car custom made a awesome hand control setup for him so he can still race. And after some practice he was able to get back in and get his NHRA license passes completed.
He runs a local race series called New England No Time which is a heads up 1/8 mile race and as the name suggests no times are shown. With World of Wheels Boston approaching the promoter of the race series is setting up a booth there and they held a poll to vote for one of the racers to be on display at the show. It just so happens Matt's car won. When I found out this was happening I decided to reach out to the promoter to offer my services to the winner of the vote so the car would be in top shape on display. In exchange he will be racing with my Final Inspection Stickers on the car for the season. And once the show is over the car is getting loaded up and heading down to Memphis TN along with other local Boston racers to race JJ tha Boss and the Memphis Street Outlaws for the T.V. show. Which is pretty cool as there's a chance my work will be on T.V. lol.
Onto the detail. Before having the car in the shop the owner arranged to have the body shop come and wet sand the car to remove the orange peel. I kinda cringed because I just knew what I was in store for when it arrived and it didn't disappoint to say the least. The sanding and polishing came out pretty nice but a huge mess was left behind.
