Lots of driving and good stops along the way!
Please give my regards to the Peppergreen roundport 70 GTO while you're at Darrell's shop!

Nice trip and got to meet Darrell and see his shop. Scott's your car will be a beauty!



The GT-37 swatches is a indication as to the next step that will give this car some pop.



Dans place had the usually excitment. JM had his newly acquired 67 HO getting the DJ treatment.

A 71 W-30 was getting ready for the track as a young Weymouth will be making his racing debut in a sweet red 442 this weekend for his dad.

Mike I bet that was an excitng trip getting to see your car finally getting to this stage and knowing you've got a sweet motor sitting there ready to go back in it. Seeing your paint swatches next to Dan's car had to be a thrill too! You are much closer to recreating that famous picture in the sales brochure!

BTW: That's just a primer, and paint will be after a few more steps. Color paint should be done by end of month.

Espen, Using a standard color. Darrell gave four option and that one had boldest color, and most pop. Plus it can be matched in future better.

Cool that they are in booth getting there skin at same time...

Here are better pix.
