Default Re: Introducing JimL78...he wants to say Hi!

The photo in Hemmings that you spoke of was there because the editors, George , Matt and I were talking when they shot the car about the angle that the paint colors joined and not flat like a lot of people restoring their car do. The other reason was and I know it will be hard to believe that Chevrolet actually didn't build the cars as perfect in 1969 as the people are restoring them to be. We just accepted their workmanship as okay because it was a Chevrolet. A lot of people have taken photographs of that car so that they could put everything in the proper place when they are restoring their cars since nothing has been moved or changed. Jim
