Nice work! You up for some more? I'm thinking about polishing my aluminum 5-star Cutlass rims instead of buying new ones. I'd have to find some loaner rims first though.

The stuff is gorgeous!!! I am planning on coming over this weekend on Saturday. I will call you tomorrow sometime. I am sicker then a dog right now, so I just want to rest now. Are you up to another batch of stuff. I have some things my brother would like done. I told him I would ask and see if you wanted some more right now or not.

The LS6 intake is on Andys car.
Chris I don't have any Cutlass wheels. I can do them but would have to see them to give you a price.
Most wheels I charge $75.00 each. Some are more.
Q's we will talk tomorrow.
Denny let me know when you are ready.
Everyone needs to know I am very sick and I take my time doing this stuff. Some things take afew days others take a couple weeks depending on how many parts you have and how sick I am. This stuff is done by hand. I try to get them for you as fast as I can. I am just saying don't wait till the last min.
Thanks everyone.

I wonder how my Mustang wheels would look polished??HHMMMM?? It looks like you do some awesome work there Chris.What would a set of the pony 5 star wheels cost to get polished up??I was considering going with painting them white to match the car but after seeing the work you do makes me wonder what they would look like polished. Is there any way they could be clearcoated after polishing to cut down on the clean up time.My Camaro has the Flat 5's on it and the guy I bought the car from had them polished and it is a pain to clean them and keep them clean.I was told that if I had them cleared that they would have a yellow tint to them.So I just fight with them year after year.It pays off in the end with how they look but it is a pain in the rear.Thanks in advance.

James did you see my IROC at Woodward last year. The wheels on the drivers side are polished and the pass side are polished and clear coated. The clear coated side have a better shine than new wheels but don't shine as well as the just polished side. What you want to do with your IROC wheels is take a compond and do the wheels once . After that you polish them once a year. I don't drive my cars in the rain or snow. If you do then I would polishs them a couple times a year. If you polish them and then clear coat them they will still look better than new wheels.

Chris,
I did'nt see your car at woodward as I had moved out to AZ by then.I think I did see it at my first gathering at a little park where those pictures of Harolds car were taken that you have on your site. it was my first gathering and did'nt know anyone but Harold.That is where I met Eric (91 Bird) and Jeff (kandied) Dan (Dans Am) and a bunch of other cool people that I am leaving out.(sorry) I don't think I had the pleasure of meeting you.I don't drive my Z in winter so that is not a problem.I usually clean them once or twice a year.It usually takes me 4 hours.It is a real bite.I will look into getting them clearcoated in the future possibly.I am also looking forward to meeting you when I move back to MI this summer. We will see you all at Superfest.

James I had my 87 wheels on at that meet. I have the polished 89 IROC wheels on now. I am polishing the whole wheel on the 87's when Jeff is done using them. If you do your wheels with the compond first when you go back and polish them it goes alot faster. Takes me about 1 hour to polish mine now. When you get back if my health holds up you can come over and we will do them.

How much do you get to polish an LT1 intake. Thanks in advance. You can send me an email if you do not want to discuss it in public.

Harold some guys were asking about a blask SS they saw racing. I had several pics of your car up to see if they were talking about you. It wasn't you and I took the other pics down. The one from the rear looks so good I left it up> I don't want anyone thinking I am taking credit for how good your cars looks.
I did name the ones I did below the photos and also on the thread.
Thanks Dave

I am supprised no one had anything to say about the SVT shirt?
