Jamie, Joe and their crew at Super Car Restorations have been busting their asses to get this car in paint for the photoshoot deadline in a couple weeks and they pulled it off again. The bodywork and paint have turned out to be absolutely stunning and in record time. For that Annie and I are very gracious.

Jamie is using PPG Envirobase water base paint on this car. He has done several cars for us in water base already and the results are nothing short of spectacular. His precision mixing techniques are second to none and with perfect paint matching every time. I would like to go into more technical detail but it goes way beyond my pay grade and will add that later when I get the information from Jamie. Right now he has a schedule to keep.

After a third and final door and front sheet metal fitment to insure it was perfect, it was ready for the booth and paint application. It underwent a bake cycle last night and will undergo more again today.

Final paint and clear application than MANY hours spent wet sanding and buffing before the stripe application. We cannot give these guys enough credit for the amount of time and effort they have put into this car for us. Way beyond our expectation.

The body will be mounted on the rolling chassis with our new wheels and tires in the coming weeks for the shoot. From there we will be doing the final assembly. Still LOTS of nights and weekends ahead of Annie and I to get this done. Restoring LS6's you would think I would be used to the efforts to find rare parts but this care has been worse as some of the items have been very elusive but I refuse to cut corners.

Thanks also to the many people that have helped us locate and/or provide many of these parts. Many of you have given up parts for this project that were destined to go on your rare cars so for this we are once again very grateful. Other parts have even been sold or given to us that were destined for two other 69 Yenko restorations after both the owners decided to not restore their cars but drive and enjoy them the way they are.

After considerable prodding, one gentleman in Louisville even gave up two of his NOS Yenko crest emblems, two original V.V. Cooke license plate surrounds and a 69 USA plate as well as several other V.V. Cooke items and more coming.

Since Baltimore cars used PPG glass and no one reproduces it, that will all have to be custom made. A shout out to Auto City Classic in Isanti, MN for supplying us with the glass for the car. I am having one of our customers make us the negatives for the logos and these will be acid etched onto the glass exactly as we found them.

I have also hired a company to reproduce the 1970 Kentucky inspection decal which will be going back on the car and a couple of other people to custom make many of the decals on the car. I will also have to have the brake line stamps custom made as I only have some for the 70 cars so lots to do yet.
