DavidHoward1 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I met Adam for the first time at Carlisle and heard so many good things from members in my Corvette Club that I had to drop by, ask a few questions, learn from the team and then made my first, and now my second, purchase. I am taking delivery of a 1971 Brandshatch Green Coupe this weekend and the surface on the car is in trouble. I will see what I can do to bring her back and more pictures will be forthcoming. Wish me luck, and success. Thanks to all. David Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Thanks David, and nice chatting with you here this evening. First, thanks for your purchase, and second, to our family! Can you bring the car to our booth the first weekend of October, for the Fall Carlisle show? I'll personally work on your car, and see what we can do to bring it back. Post photos when you take delivery, and we'll organize a game plan. Thanks and again, welcome to our family! Adam:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidHoward1 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Here are four pictures I have thus far. I'll get many more when she arrives this weekend. I think I will have my hands full, but I love a challenge. I am honored that you might be willing to help me out with this one and as a garage find I will do my best to get it down to Carlisle this October. Thank you very much.

Bill-V8V Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 That's a beauty !!!! Hard to tell without closeups but there was no clear coat back then so the majority of the issues I see could just be oxidation. If that's the case you should be able to clean that up good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Welcome David! Man, I love that color! Once Adam and his crew get their hands on it it'll be near perfect. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70'sChevyGirl Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Nice car and when the Adam's crew is done with detailing it that baby should shine so much that you have to wear shades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case you should be able to clean that up good I hope to have closeups by the end of the labor day weekend. When I get them, I will post them.

Welcome to the forum! Thank you Rich, I appreciate it. I did see another 71 Brandshatch Green at the Corvettes at Carlisle show this past weekend and it was a beauty. Made me want to dig in now. Can't wait. Will be bringing this new 71 down to the Fall Carlisle show the end of the month and let Adam and crew take a peek first hand at the finish. I am excited. Thanks again.

DavidHoward1 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Welcome! Nice car you picked up. Rich Thank you Rich. I couldn't resist a green on green car. My alma mater is Michigan State, and well, green is a good color for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidHoward1 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Nice car and when the Adam's crew is done with detailing it that baby should shine so much that you have to wear shades. Now that sounds like fun. Here is a picture of a 454 version (not mine) I saw this past weekend at Corvettes at Carlisle. As taste of the shine to come... I look forward to the challenge.

DavidHoward1 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 I am a true Wolverine fan. Me too, I support U of M for every game except one each season. Imagine how hard that is when you are from Michigan, living in Pennsylvania. Good luck this season, going to be a tough one. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidHoward1 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hello David and Welcome to AF. from another PA resident. Nice to meet you. Haven't been to Pottstown but served in the Navy with a gentleman from there wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in 1972. Where is that in this big old state of PA?

srod54321 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Pottstown is about 40 minutes outside of Philly and 20 minutes east of Reading. Welcome.. Hey Nitelord - I live outside of Pottstown as well, in South Coventry. I see that you are an authorized dealer for Adam's. Would you happen be able to point me in the direction of a good detailing shop in the area? I have a 2009 G8 GT that is in need of a good clay bar, machine swirl removal, polish and wax job - but I want to make sure it's done by someone reputable. I would do it myself (with Adam's stuff of course ), but time is limited these days as a new parent of a nine month old. Curious - as an authorized dealer, do you only sell to shops?

Nitelord Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 There are a couple of good people in the area. I can't speak as to how they work or if they use Adams products. I kind of doubt they do. I've always done my own detailing. That's kind of how I stumbled upon Adams Polishes. Been hooked ever since. Enjoy your baby. They grow so fast. :willy: My daughter started 5th grade this year. My son is in 3rd. Seems like yesterday I was taking them to day care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
