Default Re: Green LS6 progress

-----Hey, Rick,,,Ive seen that garage before!!!!!! Looks like you are making big time progress there.
-----If some of you dont yet know Rick, he deserves this nice LS6. Hes been working in the trenches too long. Hes always had the capability to do all this stuff but its my guess that stuff (life) has gotten in his way too many times. Happens to the best of us. Dont ask me how I know. Now appears to be the time and I expect great things out of him as he is as knowledgeable and capable as most everybody on this board.........Bill S

-----By the way,,,,Love the John Deere cowling storage spot!!!!!!!!

Rick,

Not to burst your bubble , or your excitement....But I strongly urge you to GET THEM DARN 70 PARTS OFF OF THAT 69 POST SEDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this is the way you would treat a real SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan...I may have second thoughts of finding you one!

P.S. Fix the antenna...Too!

Your LS6 is looking GREAT!

Dan.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'll get another grouping of pics to show again soon.

Dan,
The 69 Post is more than happy to help out holding parts for the LS6. It's time is coming.

I'm quietly hoping to get this car done by the fall Vettefest, but that might be a bit too optimistic.
CB09 is almost for sure, and if I don't make the fall Vettefest, then maybe the spring show.

Thanks Bill for the vote of confidence. I only hope to match some of the work done by many on this board.

[/ QUOTE ] How long have they been business? Are they located in Wisconsin? A shop called Nostalgic Auto Body painted a car that I currently own in 1986 and it still looks great today. Just wondering if it is the same place. If so I would love to talk to them and have them do work for me in the future.

Steve,

No, this is not the same outfit. Kevin use to work in Trevor, WI. but not under the same name. But nevertheless give them a call...they truly are among the best at what they do.

Here's some pics showing the original trunklid, the color match spray-outs, and the painted trunklid.

That's the original selling dealership sticker (Schumacher in Metamora, IL).
The original owner must have liked documenting his tire usage.
