Re: PRETTY IN PINK

Got my copy yesterday too!

Great car and great story! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Sure has created some excitement. After seeing the cover and reading the story, I called Bruce Xplantdad, then shortly after, 2 cruiser friends called me to talk about it.

Congrats on the ink. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Well, I requested a "headlight" shot for the cover, but instead they gave me a headlight shot. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif don't think I am getting thru to them https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif !

Sam, don't they live in that gated trailer park on the outskirts of town? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: PRETTY IN PINK

Thanks for the nice comments.

We (Bruce, Rex, Mark-Dreemz, Don Spiro, Shaun) all met at the Casa Grande air strip in October for the photo shoot and had a blast. Rex is a real colorful character with a great memory. Funny thing tho, he did confirm that the girls swarmed him like nobody's business, but he never called it Panther Pink as Chrysler did, he had another name for what kind of pink that color was https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif!!

Anyway Bruce is a talented, humble artisan who accomplished an outstanding job on the restoration. The car will make you stagger when you see it. We can all wish him well at the OE judging at the Mopars on the Strip event in March.

Well done dude! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif Enjoy your accolades for another 5 minutes and then start detailing that puppy for the judges! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: PRETTY IN PINK

ONLY A MOPAR CAN LOOK THAT GOOD IN PINK!!

Re: PRETTY IN PINK

Quit looking at my sisters like that....

Re: PRETTY IN PINK

Sam a great big thanks to you for the well written article https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif, Don Spiro for the wonderful photography, Rex for his ownership stories, Mark M. for his support and generosity and my wife Melinda for allowing me to pursue my muscle car madness for the past 33 years of our marriage, and Shaun Price for his genersity in getting my car to and from the Shoot https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif to all. What a blast, thanks again.

Re: PRETTY IN PINK

Welcome aboard Shaun https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif. Shaun is the fellow with the survivor '68 Impalla SS427 (red on red) that I posted awhile back. He snagged that puppy from the local (Apache Jcn) Craig's list a few months back. Here is another guy that does outstanding restorations. I recently got a tour of some of his projects and his work is remarkable! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: PRETTY IN PINK

From one author to another, tremendous article Sam! The cover no less. I love it when a cars story is rediscoved and told start to finish. Rex seems to have a way with works of his own "The color of the car was part of its power.", too cool.

Bruce, kudos for taking a stunning car and giving it the restoration it deserves and then taking the tine to reuinite her with her orginal owner.

There is nothing more satisfying in this car hooby than man and machine brought together, reliving the moment. Well done one and all. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif
