    Haven’t been around lately real work has gotten in the way of detailing…But my friend was able to find us a final detail for the year. It is just getting to cold these days and only getting colder… And we couldn’t have asked for a better vehicle to end the season on.

    2004 Chevy Silverado SS, 80k miles, fantastic color (pictures don't do it justice), and well cared for by the owner, which made our job that much easier. BTW I want a truck like this, even more now...only wish my wife saw it...

    Total time taken was 20man hours, we even put the owner to work. He did a great job helping us get it done to make it a short day.
