Default Detailers.......How Many Vettes Have You Detailed......Pics of My Favorite

Thought I'd start a thread with something a little different.

So who's done how many??

...And which was your favorite?? ........ good luck with that question.

I'll start it with at least 30+ to date, not counting one tomorrow and 4 this weekend in Houston.

Here's a couple of my favorites.

1963 Navy Vert


1999 Mag Red I LPE 427 Fully Custom Beast


2004 CE LB Vert LPE HC Fully Custom Beauty


2001 MY 402 STS TwinTurbo 800RWHP Monster


AAaaaaaaahh I love my job.

DUH! I just noticed that you said vettes.

I'd guess I have done about 5 vettes, maybe more.


As for favorites, mine are the ones that are trashed to start with.

My good friend's Jim's vette

It was my first rotary job.

You can see were some work has been done here



Ended up with this




The track beast and here again



Black C5



Another black C5



Blue FRC

No, but the owner came out with a hacksaw, said, "he didn't appreciate the neighbor's trees being over in his driveway"!!!

Now you guys don't believe modest Jim do you?

He did 99% of the work this time.

Great pic Jim!

Zane seems to be a vette freak from way back.

When was your first Zane?

Well, we bought a '70 Stingray in the early '90s, but I never did any serious detailing on it. I didn't really start getting into "real" detailing until 2000-2001.

Oh I have pics...

But I'm also including a lot of wash and wax details as opposed to ones I have buffed which are the only ones I take pictures of.

Buffed out, probably about 25 or so....

If you search this forum you could probably find atleast 10 that I have done in last 5 months
