1968 Shelby GT500 KR....

[Nick Chapman]

Just finished up this car the other day. Owner called me and said he had some old Mustang he wanted to get the paint cleaned up on. We set up a date, and he brought it over. My jaw about hit the floor when he pulled this out of the trailer. The way he was talking about it, it was just some run of the mill, beat up old stang.

Look for it going through Barrett-Jackson next week Anyone care to guess what the sale price will be?

Anyhow, here are some befores...










And after some M105 and M205, here are the results...

Holy Frijole...!

That paint is a gleaming, like it's proud or something!

Nice job.
Tell us your process.. pads, machines, speeds... even the lunch you ate.
All the good stuff. Leave no stone unturned. How much time, too?

I'll be looking for it on the Speed Channel. G R E A T J O B .

We were on some serious limited time getting this car done. While I had the car, he had the real wheels. He was putting the original tires on the wheels. So while I had it, it had these bland wheels on it. Never got any pictures with the real wheels on it

That car is so sick just in that picture. You did an awesome job Nick. I can just imagine how ridiculous it would look with the wheels on.

Excellent work Nick!

Hopefully your customer will give lots of great references for you at the auction and generate some future business contacts.
