October 17, 2016 Auburn, Banner

We had a great time at the Wilson County Car show on Sunday. Full Octane Garage’s recent project which is a 1931 Auburn brought home the Presidents Choice best in show award (not bad out of 470 great cars to choose from) and best in class. It was a nice surprise from the great group of folks who put on the show. Congratulations to Debby!

Thanks to Dennis Pett for helping make it look great for the recent shows!

50 Chevy Truck Body Progress

October 13, 2016 1950 Chevy Truck, Banner

We finally got back to work on the 1950 Chevy 5 window truck project this week. Today Dennis spent a bunch of time prepping the majority of the body panels for some Slicksand high build primer. Dennis put down about 3/4 of a gallon and it is now drying overnight before he starts to do some block sanding.

This truck is going to look great and it should blow away Gas Monkey Garage’s old Chevy (3 window) truck that they just sold for $150,000 🙂

Tonight I will move onto doing some work getting the chassis ready to drop the body on once it is painted.

1931 Auburn at the 2016 Atlanta Concours

We had a fun time with the 1931 Auburn at the 2016 Atlanta Concours last weekend. We wanted to share a few pictures and we will have a few youtube videos coming shortly.

1931 Auburn – Getting ready for Atlanta Concours

October 6, 2016 Auburn, Banner

For the past month we have been hard at work getting the 1931 Auburn ready for the Atlanta Concours. We started by cleaned and stripping any old loose paint on the chassis and laying down a fresh coat of black. Next we cleaned, stripped and sanded the engine and repainted it with a fresh coat of green paint. There were several areas around the fender trip that was beat up from road rash so we had a color match done and we cleaned up and re-shot the red trim on the rear fenders. We also had several areas where the blue needed to be re-shot so we took car of that while we ere this far into it.

We know ethanol does some strange stuff to fuel systems but we did not think this is one of the expected side effects 🙂
