The license plate... I have to ask...
#11
No not an orig. The car was left to me by a close friend that had it for over 30 years.Cancer got him about 5 years ago.The engine was put together back in the late 70's all GM numbered L88 parts when no one wanted the parts for pennies on the dollar.You know that gas was almost $1.00 a gallon and who wanted to have such low gas mileage.The plate is a tribute to my freind,his family and his car.

Well, we'd all like to know how much $$. I can understand a reluctance to quote a price since with a forum environment, whatever you said you paid, trolls will come out of the woodwork to say you paid too much, their cousin Bernie would have done it for less.
Any details as to the preps your body needed for the paintwork? Removing original paint? removing all chrome? etc.
First of all what kind of paint did you use? Here in the People's Republic of California, we have to use water based paint. I need to paint my 68 Corvette. It's now painted with an overly aged lacquer paint. So the interest in the paint used. If worse came to worse, I would contemplate driving the car to Nevada or Arizona for painting. The MacDonald Douglas aircraft factory in Long Beach, Ca, used to fly DC-10's to Texas for painting.
Looks great!! Now all of us want to know the details!!! As for the nice posting....No good deed goes unpunished!!
Thanks
