stripping Jack's roadster.Man...I can't wait to shake this baby down!By far,my favorite car in the shop including mine!
notice the blue 69 Bb that I did awhile back,and hung a front clip.It came back bumped in the front again,but this time insurance,and going ahead,and painting the rest of the car this time.Last time...I just blended onto the doors,and customer wished I had painted the whole car.Guess,he got his chance,huh?
busy,busy,busy.....Have to have the Porche done by Friday am,Mark's done by the weekend,except a few things he can help finish while he is here,and the BB blue done before I can leave for TX.Taking some of my cars,and Jack's 68,and Don's 69 to finish out.

I will let mark know that he has a reply on here from you.He is downstairs crashed!CRASHED!!!!I kicked his azz in the shop yesterday.Yep!
We have door panels to put on,and run the headlight vacuum up front,and wash/clean her up,then Mark will be road bound.
I don't wanna put words in his mouth,but he has a BIG smile on his face,so I think he is happy!

Well.....alittle over 24 hours later,and Mark is STILL downstairs sleeping.Wonder if I should see if he's still breathing?
Here's some pics from yesterday.....the owner,and his car.
We shook it down for a decent little drive,and all is well,and had lunch,and we both took our convertibles.We were blessed w/some good weather for my waaaaaay northern MI friend!
Mark seems to be VERY pleased,and I like Mark ALOT,but glad this one is done,and leaving this AM.Got the Porsche done,Mark's is done,and the BB 69 coupe is next in line......THEN...all my cars,customer's cars,parts,tools,etc. have to be on a semi/truck for our relocation to TX.....sheesh.....

Kevin Mark's car came out real nice and judging by the expression on Mark's face he feels the same way. There are a lot of great looking rides in your friend's Hall of Fame. I'll give you a hint take notes and pictures of the LeMans blue '69 Z/28 you will likely need them for future reference. Mark - Enjoy! Your car looks great.

The 69 Z is Ed's car,Jack.I told you about it/him.He is near finishing his other 69 Z,but it is a crossram car,and identical to this one,but has white houndstooth interior.
There are going to be muscle car auctions here at the museum w/Mechum,and Ed's crossram car is going to be the featured car for the first auction here.Give me a call today on my cell.
