    Wow Dust that is some great work. I love the car and color as well but had no idea that's what it really looked like. I do love the blue and you made it just glow. Just more great work from you. Man you can make a car from any decade look great!!!

    Soooo how are you liking the Flex?

    thanks bro... um and on the flex... i actually think there's something wrong with mine!!!

    if i set the speed and lock the trigger and then dial it down, it actually speeds up!!! and i don' think it's working at full force... my udm sounds like it has more power on 6 then the flex!

    Brings back memories, I used to own a '66 Chevelle SS. That was b.k. (before kids)
    Thanks for posting this tranformation.

    Yeah must be something wrong because I just went out and tried mine and when I set the trigger lock if I dial it up it speeds up and if I dial it down it slows down. And on 6 it sounds like it has a ton of power.

    ANOTHER Classic? Geeze!

    How different is it detailing these than a more recent car?

    well paint is paint... age and single stage or clear coat do play a factor, but you gotta use common detailing sense. the inside way easier... not so many cracks, cup holders.... just basic and easy.

    the biggest deal would of been on the engine... but i didn't even pop the hood to look

    the lips came out really well, but the "spokes" were heavily oxidized, or whatever you wanna call it. a polishing ball would of helped, maybe not alot

    Very nice work on the Nova. It looks like the wheels are American Racing Thrusts. I have them on my 67. Looks like it also might be an original SS.

    Sweet car and detail.

    I can say that i definately put that paint under submission:spank:

    this is probably the only two classics i'll be doing for a while.

    Bro ur guess is alot better than mine, cause I don't have one. as far as i know everything is original expcet the wheels, paint and sound system

    That is some VERY nice work Michael! It must be nice to get to detail a more original car every once in a while.

    Where were you detailing these? Looks like a nice place to work in.
