Gibbs customer receives magazine write up

A friend and Gibbs customer has been featured in the December 2009 issue of Muscle Car Enthusiast (page 36). Wing's Auto Art is a premier restoration shop located in Ionia Michigan. Owner Nyle Wing and his crew are true artists. I met Nyle and the crew when my friend Dave Riley of Vintage 60's had them help on a car we were working on. After being greeted and having our credentials checked by the big dog in the shop, Pete and his band of merry barkers, we gained entrance.

When I first met Nyle and introduced him to Gibbs he was somewhat suspicious. Being a master painter Nyle was concerned about bringing chemicals into his shop. I told him that I had a product that I wanted him to try in the shop. His first words were "Is there silicone in it". I told him that if there was I wouldn't have even thought about bringing the can into his shop. Any products bought into the shop are stopped at the door and checked out. The only one not checked is one that has brewed liquids, barley and hops in it.

With some skepticism he took a couple cans to try out. Well let me say that he has become a believer and user of Gibbs. He just took delivery of a large order. Every car that is assembled at Wing's Auto Art has Gibbs on it. Every bolt gets a drop of Gibbs on the threads. Bare metal surfaces are treated with Gibbs during assembly.

In the same issue of Muscle Car Enthusiast (page 48) there is an article on the detailing of a 1972 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 frame done by Wing's Auto Art. Every mark, sticker, chalk line and fastener is the correct color and placement. The secret weapon in the assembly was using Gibbs on every fastener during assembly.

Check out the Wing's Auto Art web site at http://www.wingsautoart.com/. Take a look at the fantastic work done by the shop. Every time I stop in it is eye candy over load. Some time they even let me push a car in the shop. The joy never stops.

During my last visit Nyle told me that they were ready to buy a new set of tire skates to put under the tires to move cars around the shop. The set they had in use had been used and abused over the years. They figured that before putting them out to pasture that the wheels deserved a shot of Gibbs. What required every hand on deck to move a car is now a one man job. Guess who that one man was? Only five guess and the first four don't count.
