Mike is a perfectionist. The 68 is my fun car. If he ever started working on it, he would start to find hundreds of problems. Also cowl induction hoods didn't come out until 1/2 way through 1969. No 68 had them and the hood on there now is a crappy reproduction.


I'm just going to leave it for now.

Ok then just remember if you ever part with the 68 you know who to ask first!

There is actually a sign hanging in the shop that says:

What is he painting them with? That sheen looks perfect and I've always had a hard time finding a semi gloss black that looks right.
