it is now at lone star classics for reassembly.

steve at lsc promised this paint job would be far better than the first paint job.i never had a complaint on the first and was very happy and pleased with it.

steve delivered 110% on his promise.

gary heard of gary's paint and body in azle did the candy apple.
he is very skilled and professional.

it took longer than we all expected but the month of unusal cold and wet weather we went thru slowed it done.

if i see anymore volvos and home depot trucks at a intersection
i will be throwing it in reverse and be going the long way around.

Glad to hear your car is ready, Gary in Azle painted my Cobra also and I have been pleased, in fact I would like to have Gary do some touchup work done this winter. Later, db

it has been since aug. 25 that i have been without it.i long ago went from cobra withdrawals to a coma.

jim : i sure hope and plan on driving it to the next meeting.i am going to have a hard time getting out of it.have to make up for lost time.

tony: don't have any of the pictures of the new paint processed yet. you need to get yours ready for that 392,you'll love it.

db: gary real does do good work.no doubt yours is of the exact same quaility.
