1938 Aston Martin ( Fast N' Loud Season 4 Episode 3 )

The 1938 Aston Martin had been sitting in a barn for over 45+ years. This Aston Martin was a one-owner car, 100% original and completely numbers matching.

It was an honor to get the opportunity to work on this and to have the whole process documented by the Fast n Loud production crew was a dream come true.

1980 Allison Kit Car (Fast N' Loud Season 4 Episode 9)

Our second vehicle for the show was a 1980 Allison Kit Car that had been sitting inside a garage again for over 10 years. This vehicle was in dire need of extensive detail restoration The body on the car was made of GEL coat, that of which boats are made of, so restoring the shine, gloss and clarity was more of a challenge than a typical clear coated vehicle.

Over 20+ hours were put into this detail restoration project. Not as an intensive detail as the 1938 Aston Martin, our main focus was restoring the paint, engine detailing restoration, and interior restoration, including bringing life back into the shrinking leather seats.

Undercarriage
Step 1. Wurth Foam Degreaser
Step 2. Gloss-It APC Cleaner
Step 3. ZEP Degreaser
Step 4. Stainless Steel and Brass brushes of various sizes

Exterior (GEL coating)
Step 1. 3M Marine Rubbing Compound
Step 2. 3M Marine Color Gloss Restorer
Step 3. Swissvax Concorso Wax

1960 BelAir

Even thou we were not on this vehicles episode, we still have a lot to do with it. Over 22+ hours were put into the detail restoration of this 1960 BelAir. The paint was original, so we were working with lacquer and this paint was bad. The clarity was gone due to the massive amount of surface scratches in the paint. I knew that a very extensive mulit-step correction was going to be needed. What I did not see was just how hard the paint had become. I had to wetsand the upper areas with 1500, 2500, 3000 sandpaper to get below the deep scratches and then come back with the foam pad and compounds to jewl the paint to a deep gloss and shine. A lot of work, but the outcome is in its weight in gold.

The interior was not in that bad of shape. I used the Swissvax Interior Cleaner and then applied the Swissvax Leather Milk, Leather Softerner and the Elephant Museum Wax to stop the shrinkage and give neutrants and vitamins to the old leather.
