Finally got my Baldwin Motion Phase III Webpage up

Yep, gotta say it Larry. You are one lucky Bast$%#^%$D.. Best $3,400 you ever spent!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] It sickens me.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] That white/gold 70 B/M even looks evil covered in dust with the sidepipes completely evaporated on it.. (still can't believe they rusted to nothing like that) They had the header pipe coming out and the exhaust outlet still bolted to the car.. with NOTHING in between them. The 69 needs WAAAAY more work and that's why I think the 70 would be the best one to do first. Less involved labor/money wise and you'll have something to enjoy while getting the 69 show worthy. And you got a helper with experience as well.

I just want to get the '69 done first as it needs to get the paperwork finalized from Joel. I am going to spend the rest of the week trying to find the GTO emblem locally so that I can put to rest my last piece of the puzzle. What if Joel doesn'T have the paperwork on this car then he will need to see this to satisify his mind that it is the same car. 21 out of 21 things is just the way that I want to do things. Once it is finalized I will be working on both cars and you can count on being involved if that is what you would like to do? You have to remember that paint work has to set for weeks to keep from having gost your body work show up in the finish coat. That way I will jump from car to car in each step till I get it just right and the finish will last for many years. I plan on these cars outliving me and just hope that 50 years from now someone will still be interested in them and will read about my life and my cars. I want them as perfect as I can make them. They are almost surivor cars and just may need to be left pretty much the way that they are. I am working with some NCRS guys too and they will advise me once I get them where I can work around them without being in such tight quarters. As you saw that Dam Can-Am car takes up way too much room. hard to beleive it is so big and so small (short) at the same time. I am toying with the Idea of going to Chicago to the Vettefest? Have to wait and see if I can work it out time wise.

Pantera,
Here's a picture of the GT Vette at the '69 NY auto show, taken from a '69 Motion newsletter--JoeG

JoeG. Awesome Pic. Do you have anymore? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img] I think what Larry (Pantara) is looking for is a Color picture showing that Vette. The original color on the Vette is Monaco Orange but the pic of this Vette on the cover of Cars Magazine makes the car look Red, and ALL of the features I've seen on it have been B/W. I've seen Larrys Vette in person and there is no doubt in my mind it is the same one in the picture you just posted, and the original paint is still on the car. You can see it where Larry has it sanded down in places. It is a reddish/orange color on the magazine it looks reeeally Red. That could just be the way it printed out, or it could have been altered by the editors.. who knows. But I agree with Larry on this one. All the tell-tail signs are on the car.. Just been A LONG time since it looked the way it did in 1969. Ya know? I can't wait till he blows all the dust off it and brings it alive again.. Everyone will appreciate this one when it's done. Can't replace the very first Phase III Corvette Joel built.

That is a later car he made. Mine didn't have a motion emblem on the hood. I don't think he had them made till after my car was built.
