This from Wednesday nights local show & shine. This must be a fairly new completed restortion, as I've never seen the car before. It's a 1937 Ford Sedan 2Dr. Slant Back. The paint job is flawless, any spots, marks or anything else seen in the paint job, is a reflection. I tried shooting the trunk from different angles but the one I posted is the best shot, I could get, even though my relfection stands out like I'm looking in a mirror. The light grey painting on the trunk made it very hard to shot from an angle. Hit Download to enlarge photos, especially on the trunk shot.

Tamarac always has the best show for Show & Shine. I think they award prizes, or something, and always get a big turnout....;0) I'll post some more Sunday, wife and I are heading out in the morning to do a little shooting....;0)

Mike, I am not a car, motorcycle, airplane person like guys are, but that is FABULOUSSSSSS! I painted on the tailgate of a truck once. I airbrushed Michael, the archangel on it. When my hubby had a solid medium blue truck, I wanted to airbrush silver from the bottom up about 1/3 of the way and fading out, then black at the very bottom with silhouettes of running horses all the way down the side and he would not have it. I could see how gorgeous it would have been in my mind...Horse silhouettes of them running in a silver mist with a grassy silhouette below them. Oh well. Now he has a silver truck and I'd like to do a light blue fade with the same

That reflection of you off the trunk of the car is like a mirror. I can even tell what camera you shoot. Do you think the paint job cost him more that $1.95?
Great pictures.
