    This was a fun job. I used Mezerna for the first time. I'm pretty impressed. The paint on this car was in much better shape than some of the other cars I've done over the last week or so.
    Process:
    ONR
    Z18 Clay w/SW as lubricant
    106 w/Orange pad
    PB's Professional Polish
    Z2
    Natty's Blue (decided to give that a try instead of using Natty's Red)
    P21S on the wheels (time to buy a new brush or two)
    Z16 on the wheels and engine bay wipe down.

    Does the owner of these vehicles do an LS2 swap into all of his cars?
    Great work.

    GTO IRS and transmission as well.

    Thank you.
    I'm not completely sure. I found spots under the hood (where it meets the firewall that suggest the car hasn't been painted, but there was no paint transfer on the pad. I thought all SS paint would transfer paint.
    I think this one should go in this month's competition...lol

    Actually this car has an LS1 it in. In 2004 there was a train wreck where a bunch of GTO's were damaged. He bought the motor, transmission, and iRS and swapped it into the Phoenix.
    No all of his cars haven't had major surgery. The 89 and 99 Trans Am's are still pretty stock...:whistle:
    I believe the next project will be a Vette purchase, then lengthening it a foot so that he can fit his wheelchair behind the driver's seat.

    It's really cool to be behind him. The car just sounds awesome and he gets great gas mileage in both cars that have the swaps.
