DL- what was the factory color of the car? I do like the "should be a pretty easy restoration".... HA! This jackwagon obviously knows how "easy" it is to find nice 69 parts! LOL.. Boob..
Owner (Paul H.) is a real nice guy (not a jackwagon, lol) from the Carolina Chapter, has several GS's. They have already found most of the parts they need to restore it. I think it is 52, Signal Red.
The body looks in good shape, and if the chrome trim pieces are nice and don't need plated, then it shouldn't be too bad. I hope he doesn't need a dash bezel re-plated. I was told something like 6-8 months to get it done with standard plastic chroming techniques. Most of the guys that did this are gone. There is a new option of having them silver plated and then painting on top of that. I don't know if I kept the info but that might be the longest lead item with the build. Hopefully the glass is OK too. Duane
Hi Chris, This is a code 52 Signal Red car with a black bucket seat interior. It also is a real Stage 1 with a four speed and the consolette and A/C. Another friend Roger Carroll and I took the car to Chicago for Paul. I am also in the Carolina's chapter and Paul H is a friend and yes he is a really good guy! Most everything is there and if we need something we have a 69 Sportwagon 400 parts car.
Thanks for the update John. I remember speaking with Paul, you and Roger about the car. I was the guy from WA state. :>)
Paul Haddock is one of the nicest people. He will have this car looking better than the day it was new. I have known Paul many years. Always a great guy to hang out with at the shows and very talented. Carolina chapter is lucky to have him as a member.
That is cool, thanks for posting DL I think George was referring to the cameraman as the jackwagon. Not the stepchild owner Paul.
The guy talking on the video is Ryan Brutt. He coordinated the barn find section of MCACN and has a You Tube channel called the Auto Archaeologist. It is NOT Paul Haddock. Just so everyone knows. All of you guys out there that have performed a body off restoration understand there is no easy way to accomplish it. It's hard work and can be very detailed as well.
