Preview of the Finished Project... - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

The project itself....

...and the results below!

Here's a gloss/depth preview of the Scuderia I am finishing up! Just note, there is no wax/sealant/glaze (not that we have ever used it to begin with!) on the car in these photos. Just bare, corrected and polished paint!

I will be including the rest of the photos, already have about 400 to go through, figured everyone would be interested in checking this out. I've been correcting the paint, restoring the carbon fiber both in the cabin and in the engine bay.

Been a fun project so far, and also look forward to video from Jonathon Boulton, which we all know will be good!

Sweet job, when should I come get my car?

Oakes · 12-30-2010, 04:01 PM

When you fight me for the keys

TalonTsi97 · 12-30-2010, 05:07 PM

should be sent to fabspeed directly from GV for headers/intake/tune (considering its so close and the owner has money) then shipped back to the owner lol

Oakes · 12-30-2010, 05:28 PM

I'm actually a Fabspeed reference, have just completed 2 cars for them. The owner enjoys the hell out of this car, I'm sure he will mod it accordingly soon. He tracks it as is.

I've been following a lot of your detail posts...never knew you got an E63...where are the pics of that!?

Oakes · 12-31-2010, 11:13 AM

The E63 is a continuation of an ongoing joke. I just pick my new favorite car and put it as my ride on here. Alot of people on this forum know me and know it, they just go along with it. It makes for entertainment at meets. I never tell anyone I actually have the cars, just put them as my ride. However, I'm never in the same car, ever, so few people actually know what I drive.

I feel like I over explained that haha

gsnar · 12-31-2010, 03:40 PM

jeez how much does a detail like that go for? (please no one say "more then you can afford pal!") haha

If you give Oaks a container of "Zymol Royale Glaze" He most likely will offer you a free detail job

Tigawoods · 01-01-2011, 11:55 PM

he made it look pretty for me

More than you can afford pal.....Ferrari.

In all seriousness, depends on size, condition, paint and work wanted/needed. Can be anywhere from $300-1k as a general range for professional work like this among myself and other paint correction specialists. It's very involved work and by no means should be rushed.

LOVE IT! It's getting filmed right now by JB, cant wait to combine both your photos and his videos!

CherryBomb · 01-05-2011, 07:04 PM

Good work as usual, bro. I had one of my customers asking about you the other day. I think you had done his car previously and he was impressed.
