The money I spent, 200 to get guidence, use his shop, paper and his time was well worth it. Who knows what it would have looked like without his knowledge. Ed and I spent a lot of time talking about cars, life and family. He is around 70 and has had a body shop for 40 plus yrs and is a ex Project Manager at Honeywell. Great guy!

I made a new freind and there is no price on that! Just a wonderful experience. I cant wait to get back there tomorrow and wet sand and buff if my wife doesn't kill me first!

When I was about 4 years old, my dad turned 40 and brought home a new 67 Camaro. It was that same color, and was one of our two family cars for over a decade. My brother still has it. Love that color, and good job painting a 928 on a budget.
