You've reminded me of something I saw over the weekend:

We used to send every show vehicle to the Milford Proving Ground for a "cut and buff": physically sanding the finish down with sandpaper wrapped on popcicle sticks and then polished to perfection. Those that couldn't be saved would be re-sprayed and then cut and buff. In fact - you have reminded me - I used to have a standardized list of things I knew I would need to do to prep a vehicle for a show or executive review, before I even saw the vehicle: Cut and buff (show or exec review only) Installed zero balanced tire/wheel assemblies Zero balance driveline Fix wind noise from vent windows and door fits Fix door closing efforts There was probably more than that but those come to mind immediately.

Keith
Did you also do water leak tests on cars? |

For pre-production and production builds: yes - as part of the process.
For show cars? Not typically - unless it was called out specifically. K

IMO, old guy ? The 1961 Chevrolet might be the most beautiful design of the late 50's and early 60's.
And all 1961 GM cars for that matter ? My favorite year across the board. And ....NO BLACKED OUT WHEELS ... Mike |
