Some New Pics Of RPM's Projects
I just got back the pics of the Vette I painted this winter from the professional photographer who shot my IROC for the last magazine article. You can find them as well as some beginning pics of the 71 Mach 1 that I'm currently working on at this page. http://www.rpmrestoandcustom.com/Current%20Projects.htm
There's also some new pics of the interior progress on my Thunderbird.

I'm sure I could make some time to help you out Bob. Let me know when you're thinking of doing it and we'll meet up so you can show me exactly what you want done.

Sounds good, Daddy O. I'll give you a holla once I tie up some loose ends, like fitting a new fiberglass trunk lid and carbon fiber front spoiler.

Thanks. I'm really hoping to have that car done by August...it's been 4 years now. Interior should be done this weekend and then it's on to the engine/trans rebuild and reinstall. All of the engine bay peripherals are all powdercoated and sitting in boxes.

Did you have to track down any parts for it? Clearly you've been very meticulous with it. I'm sure the owner's gonna be very happy with the results.

There is a T-bird supply house right here in Jersey so I've been able to get most of the parts through them that needed replacement. As for the owner....the car is actually mine and my fathers.....hence the reason it's taking so long. Gotta do the paying jobs first.

Stupendous work, as usual! A guy I work with has a 60 T-Bird. Very nice.
What parts place in NJ, Kantor?
