For some cars it is period correct to have swirls in the finish. For example the 60's Corvettes should have some swirls rather than a clear coat finish look.

Can't wait to see Mike's pictures

The same here, and Mike i know you don't do request but if you
see a Ford Mustang Fastback Mach1 ( 1970 or so ) would you
please consider to take a shot for me, cause that will be my
next project, to buff and detail such a baby like that next week.

Thx.

But the best phone to have for things like this that I know of is the Sidekick.

If the pictures cam out, I was on stage most of yesterday and I took some shots of the lights themselves.

It's amazing how great the car can look on camera but in person you folks would die if you could see the actual condition of most of finishes on these cars... The cars themselves are beautiful, it's the swirls in the paint that are unacceptable for cars of this caliber. A big part of the problem however is truly the lights as they bring out each and every swirl and scratch to the trained eye.

I was on stage from about 12:30pm to 4:30pm when I finally had to leave as my camera battery died and I ran out of memory. I must say however it was an absolute blast being on stage where all the action was!

If you look at the below photo, you'll notice I'm not shooting towards the stage, but off the stage...



See the media photographer sitting on the speaker on stage... yeah... I'm going to try get his seat today!

I'll do my best, I'm in my hotel room right now uploading some photos from Friday and pretty quick here I've got to head back over and try to get back up on stage for today's cars.

That would be just great Mike, I know you are real busy right
now and I appreciate you will try to make a picture if you can
and I also know that you always do your best.

I already saw the picture of the " Eleanor " looks great.

Thx in advance.

Grtz. and take care
