1967 Shelby GT500 "Eleanor" Correction - Lucci Elite

This correction was done for the same client with the Acura NSX and the SLS once the Mercedes was complete I dropped it off and got the opportunity to drive this masterpiece back to the shop for correction. Growing up this was my dream car as my dad and I always looked at buying one and fixing one up but never was able to find one that we could fix up so when I found out he wanted to have this car corrected as well I was more excited to do it then any Bugatti or Lambo that comes in the shop. This particular car was used on set for the gone in 60 seconds movie and was in pretty pristine condition all over but the paint had some issues! They weren't very many swirls due to the clear coat being on the harder side but there were plenty of deeper rids. I finally got to use the little 3 inch Rupes tool and I honestly am speechless it was cutting rids out faster than any combo on the Griot's and on top of that I was able to cut out rids with just the compounding foam from Rupes. Make sure to place your order with Kevin Brown Asap its a game changer for sure!

trust me, your body will shut down eventually, but I respect madly Jimmy's hustle. I **WISH*** I could run an operation like he's got with his shop and equipment, but he deserves it, he's been working HARD for the last fews years to be where he's at now. Nothing but mad respect for him.

 

Love that car and you did a great job .

 

Great job on an awesome classic Jimmy!:thumb:

 

Yes, they do have the button. At least, my buddies did.
This car definitely has bark and bite!

I was fortunate enough to visit with Jimmy @ the shop when Eleanor was in there. What a beautiful piece of automotive machinery! I hung out for a few hours watching Jimmy compound it. It was quite impressive to see how easily the Rupes cut out the deeper RIDS.

Thanks again for letting me hang out and nice meeting you Jimmy!
