    Here is the completed job by "Bob'n Bing Inc. The teasers were posted earlier but here is the fruit of our labor(by three former GI guys) we had 96 hours plus into the car as every surface from paint to trim and all of the suspension had fifteen years of built up crud.Special thanks to Richie and Mark Zamzow for helping me thru this last two weeks of a busy schedule.

    Here is the car in the beginning.

    The front bumper had been re-painted the week previous but needed finishing as it had sand scratches and holos.

    Customer requested we not wash the car conventionally, so out came my "Low pressure washer" which sprays a fine mist as opposed to getting the car really wet.

    Spectacular work Bob. "Tighness" as you say, "as usual". This detail truly deserves the name "restoration".

    You guys amaze me with the work you do. Its admirable.

    Out of curiosity....why didn't owner want the "conventional" wash....you couldn't have screwed up his paint surface anymore then it already was.

    Great pics. Love the write ups. (and the Lambo in the back)
