***Live Broadcast*** Thursday, May 10th - 1986 Porsche 928 & 1947 Hotrod Chevy Truck


Live Video Broadcast - 1947 Chevy & 1986 Porsche 928 - Extreme Makeovers






Starting at 5:00pm on Thursday, May 10th there will be a live video broadcast of all the action taking place here at Autogeek's Show Car Garage as team of Pro Detailers and Enthusiast Detailers tackle two project cars in a single night.

Click back to this thread to watch the live feed and share the link to this thread with all your car buddies!

Here's what we'll be working on!


Lou's 1947 First Series Chevrolet Pick-up
Lou took a truck that started out wrecked, wrinkled and held together by rust and created a one-of a kind Hotrod Roadster Pickup with a wild yellow with flames paint job. While the paint is in good condition it has swirls and scratches that were going to remove by machine polishing and then create a super high gloss finish to really set this truck off.




Louie's all original 1986 Porsche 928
This car has the original factory basecoat/clearcoat finish and while it's in very good condition we're going to clay the paint, machine polish the paint and then machine wax the paint to max out the clarity and gloss.



Stay tuned for the live feed this Thursday night and the pictures showing, before, process and final results...

 

We're all set-up and ready to go...

We'll be using Blackfire products on the 1947 Chevy and Wolfgang products on the V8 Porsche.


Moderator for the Live Chat
Ray from Customer Care has volunteered to join us and run the chat box for the video feed. If anyone has any questions about what we're doing he can relay them to us in the Studio and then type the answers back into the chat box.

 

Here's a few Beauty Shots of our project cars and the Transformation Team and then it's time to shut down Autogeek's Show Car Garage. I'll be back online tomorrow to answer any questions in this thread...


Both projects now have a deep, wet shine!





The Transformation Team!
