    At last - my Gran Coupe is ready for Paint Shop
    « on: February 12, 2006 - 02:34:43 PM »
    At last -after one year bodywork - my Barracuda is ready for paint shop. Can hardly wait to get car back home!

    Everything, I mean stripping, blasting, welding, painting etc is done by me and my friends at our Car Club House. Lot of work but big $$$$$$$ savings!

    The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

    The Grand Coupe looks great and I know what you mean about saving money I did both my Challenger and Cuda restorations in a 2 car garage.

    What's is this car club you talk about?

    Well. I'm living Finland 50 miles from Arctic Circle. Almost every city (or village) has their own American Car Clubs here in Finland. My Club is called Main Street Cruisers with 60 members. We own our garage and there is place for 20 cars and 10 bikes. Mostly GM cars but also my Cuda, plus RT/SE Challenger, 440 Challenger, 68 Dart GTS, '72 Pro Street 440 Satellite STW etc.

    Me + 4 ours members visited California in Nov 2005 and I can tell You we had good time in Pomona Race, LB Hi Performance Swap and Vegas. We also bought 3 cars and exported them to Finland.
