I met Chris over at Glen's shop today.



We cleaned up the Super Beeast, then Glen wanted me to wash on of his land yacht's. :cooleek:



Super Bee process:



QEW morning wash in the shop as it was still cold out. :lol:

Clear Seal

Z8

Chris did the tips and the catback with deep finish chrome.



Chris had it up on the lift to do the exhaust polishing:

Tar spots where cleaned after these pics where taken.

The Land Yacht has been sitting in the shop for a while. Glen had decided to put it up for sale and has an interested party. Give it a wash for now and if this guy does not buy it, I'll have you come by and give it a full polish. :nervous:



Its a 66 caddy with 76k miles. Original SS paint.



It had a thick layer of dust on it and some oxidation.

I foamed it up with my lance and 2oz of Z7 and the rest of the 32oz bottle with water.

I then washed it with the two bucket method and sheepskin mitt.

So if the sale does not go thru, here is what I will be dealing with:

Nice touch up's Bryan, gotta do em, they help pay the bills. I bet that Caddy will be fun to do, doesn't look that bad either, you will make believers out of bystanders if you get the chance to put some life into it.
 
Ooooohhhh....never saw those new Chargers in full shots like yours. That car really got the American muscle car look. Yummy!

Thanks David! It might take a few hours just to tape up the trim. :)

cars look good but I think those "tar spots"

are rubber from the rear tire

You may be right as the rear tires are about done after 16k miles.

Fun car to drive with the 425hp hemi.
 
Well, I can tell you, as a Superbee owner with a Zoomers exhaust like the one in these photos, the exhaust is awesome sounding. Between the color and the exhaust note, there is no traveling "incognito" when driving the Bee!!
 
Well done Bryan! The Bee always looks great, and that Caddy looks really nice. I hope he sells it, but I cant deny that I hope you get to work on it. :D
 
Awesome, just great to see a Super Bee that's done perfect! can't wait to see the caddy!, Great work Bryan!.........:usa

Nice clean ups Bryan. The caddy is sweet. The SuperBeeast looks awesome as always. Any exhaust clips?

Thanks John. I don't have any clips, it really sounds great.

Great detail!

I love those chrome polishing you have done!



Speaking of Superbee, where is he? "the user that is" :D

Thanks Harry. Chris used the deep finish chrome, it works very well.

Thanks Wade! I am 50/50 on that one as well. Could always use more room in the shop.

Thanks Eddie!
 
Looking good! I hope you get to do the Caddy. I was going to fully polish my 1960 Deville before selling it but weaseled out and just did a quick 1-step.



How does he have 16K on the Bee already? Is he driving it to Bermuda?

Wow, do I like vintage cars.

That's actually a 1968 Coupe deVille, not a 1966.



If anyone remembers the band Sugar Ray, they did a song called "Mean Machine" in which they sang about a 68 Coupe.



Good work on both...enjoy!

As a vintage Cadillac fanatic, it makes me happy to see such a car in what appears to be solid shape.



I have to add that it is a 1968, not 66, Coupe deVille.

Good work on both...I sincerely say that if I was closer, I would volunteer to help on the Cadillac. I enjoy them that much.
