Congratulations man, glad to see you are doing something you love. It is a great feeling not hating your job. You figure you spend a lot of time at work, it makes it easy when you are doing something you enjoy.

Also great work, body work is an art and takes a lot of talent...with that kind of talent you are going to enjoy a long career.
 
I envy your ability. I suck at body work because I haven't got the patience at all for the whole fill/sand/fill/sand/fill/sand/prime/sand/etc. process. That and drywall are my two weakest trades.

That first one is a Camaro? Hard to tell what the hell it is, as there's almost NOTHING left of that poor thing - at first glance, from the shape of the back half, I was thinking maybe it was a Maverick or Comet or something...
 
Our resto rates vary from 65-85 an hour. And yes that is a 68 Camaro. Original owner RS 327 Powerglide, were gonna be putting Baer brakes and a fat man suspension on it........................when the time comes lol. Thanks for all the feedback guys!!! And hopefully my car will be painted in a month.
 
Its in Long Valley, he has brought it to Lead East before. The car is stunning, all autometer gauages have replaced the stock gauges, it has HID's, and Bear brakes. Ran 12's shifting easy on street tires.
 
dude! i wanna work there! if they need any pee-on part time help on weekday mornings let me know...shoot me a text or call me or something. I need something that makes me better money to go along with the job i already have...
