lots of money and hard labor went into this car over the last 1.5 years

now it's back and better then ever

maybe consider opening your own detailing shop or performance shop.

on a serious note, you did an awesome job turning that lt1 around... congrats!!!

[QUOTE=LS1 SPEED;11119581]little details go a long way weather it's my car or a customers car





That's for sure I have never picked up a dirty car from Larry he has always made sure the car looked great before picking it up. Couple of weeks ago I picked the car up from a trans change and there he was still detailing the car when I got there at about 7pm.

Nothing make a customer happier.

most cases I try to make time to get the cars looking good for delivery, but some cases I just run out of time.

thanks Jeff

I didn't know you did detailing Larry. How do you feel about LS1 cars that have been neglected for oh say about 12 months under a cover with like 2 inches of powder on the underbody from sitting next to a powder coating booth. lol. seriously, the car is a MESS, i don't know what i'm gonna do with it come spring I'm going to be building a wall and keeping it in a "clean" area in the spring but its fubar currently. Think you can help??
