Some of you might remember when we went up to Indiana and bought this car last year. Well it's been sitting here since then, I've had it for sale ( flipper
) and had some interest, but no sale. But deep down I really wanted to build the car. It's just such a perfect body to start with, I can't help but touch it everytime I walk by it. It's like a beautiful woman.
One of the stumbling blocks on restorations is the cost of a quality paint job. I have friends that are professional painters, do beautiful work ,that have looked at the car at length and said it's a perfect example. But they work for someone else. And then Monday Tom came by. Haven't seen him for quite awhile. The cars I've seen him paint in the past were beyond show quality. And he says he's bored
So I said, look at this car. Well he spent a solid hour inspecting the car, from every possible angle.
So needless to say we made a deal and she's going to paint.
So were up in the air about color. Born Hemi Orange so might stay with that or paint her the same color as Toxic's car, which is very close to EV2.
Anyway here is what she looks like now, I'll continue collecting parts and restoring sub assemblies as we go along. Stay tuned.
