Please excuse the lack of writeup, I am switching all my photography and information to my own server. Regards, Sean
Wow...I am a Huuuge Street Rod/Antique Fan, Thanks for Posting :worship2: I guess I should start out by Welcoming you to Detailing Bliss, Hope to see you around more often. That Phaeton is Frikkin Sweeeet as Candy :gasp: The Lime Green sets it off, takes a set of Brass ones to put Lime on Black :headbang:
Sweeeeet! They just don't make them like that anymore. I like the lime green. But it did take guts to try it on an antique. ooh and welcome to the boards.
What an introduction! I can just see Faye Dunaway leaning against it beside Warren Beatty sitting on the running board! Nice work.
Very nice looking vehicle :thumb: I agree, talk about a great introduction. Look forward on seeing you around eace:
Thanks guys, I am way behind on unloading the camera. This week should see some catching up. Thanks for the welcomes.
I loved it! My Dad has a couple Model T's and A's that he has in his collection. This paint looks just like his 1926 Model T. I've been telling him I can get it looking good but he is dead set on getting it repainted, maybe if I show him this he'll give me a shot at it. Whats the worse that can happen he doesn't like it and he gets it repainted anyway?
I did that entire detail in a pro resto shop. Including in front of the guy who had originally buffed it out. I got drilled with questions, and received a lot of skepticism during. Said and done though he was mightily impressed, as was the owner. Its a new school really, even at the highest levels. Should have done a walk around before video, but if you watch the walkaround after vid, you should get a real feel for the depth that it had. I would show him, but in the end it still might not convince him.
wow, great job. Amazing first post! I dont normally like classic cars but this one does look amazing and timeless.
Aesop..Great great job on the Ford!! I'm happy for you too that people responded to your thread. I posted a rare 1942 Caddy convertible that hardly got looked at....I was disappointed to say the least. I grew up preparing Antiques for car shows and parades, that's how I got into detailing over 30 years ago...I've polished brass on early turn of the Century cars and have had the priveledge of working on some lovely old cars. Did you consider applying 303 to the running board? Just a suggestion, don't shoot the messenger!:ar15: Seriously, please keep posting up the Antiques if you have more!
Welcome and wonderfull work. Not to fond of all the green accents on that car but it's a classic nonetheless :thumb:
I, for one, loved that Caddy, and I remembered it well from your work on it last year too. I can't look at it without thinking of my father. There's so much emotion packed into these cars. When you're working on them you must be wondering about all the people who drove them. How many weddings have they driven to, how many babies driven home from the hospital, how many funeral processions. And in the case of this Phaeton, how many bank robberies where it was used as the getaway car!!!
I did apply 303 on the running board, just didn't get a photo of it. Check the walk around video. I will check out your caddy detail for sure. I can backdate some antique posts if you would like. I have some full write ups on a 42 Packard, a '53 Roadmaster, another '42 Packard that i did a mini resto on. Most of my business is antiques and muscle cars.
