When I worked for him in 2002, we worked on none other than Shazoom. had a 35 mm back then need to get pics scanned. It was being transported to CA for an auction in a dbl decker semi and the guy forgot to tie it down!!!:injured: yeah, needles to say , it bad. both fins were jacked up, along with the roll pan in the back, we had 5 days to fix it (3 Guys) Painted the whole back half, made the deadline and looked great was pretty cool deal, our Dad was excited to say the least. Any way that's all for now I'll try to keep you updated on progress on the camaro,BTW I have painted cars professionally for 20yrs and one of our good friends is a fabricator that builds mostly race cars but can (and does!!!) build ANYTHING, my brother firebird was built by him (Jeff Holloway) and my bro Todd in 6mos. the first go around. from $500 beater to 7.80s in less than 7 mos.! need to go Shawn

I know it's a pain to view, can it be fixed? Thanks, (not so computer savvy) Shawn

Welcome to the site, Shawn.

I fixed the post such that all of the pics are stacked vertical; it's much easier to read now.

Looks like you've got some cool projects.

That's a new (2006?) Ford GT being sprayed in the classic GT40 scheme, right? That's pretty cool, if so!

Thanks Ralph for fixing my post! The GT came that way to my understanding, don't really know all that much about the fords (although I think they are cool) we have just always had GM.
