Default Jon Mello's #1 Z-28

I used to have a thread on here and I thought it was here last week but now I can't find it.

Anyway, here are some pics of my (finally) completed car, most of which are from Laguna Seca last week. I hope you guys enjoy the finished product



Here's Johnny Moore's daughter Kelly. She was born in 1972 and never saw the car but heard stories about it from her dad. She and her siblings grew up with the pedal
car shown which was painted and lettered by the guy who did the car originally. Kelly was kind enough to let me borrow the pedal car for the week.












Yours truly in the catbird seat.


Here's Dennis Jones hand lettering the car. He did a great job.


Mike Joy and crew did a nice video on the car which will air on Fox on September 26th.


Many thanks to Matt Medina of Medina Motorsports for rolling out the red carpet for my daughter and me all week. That's Matt with the pedal car.
The Alan Green Camaro and my car have not been together since Sebring on March 31, 1967.

I'm curious why the driver's fender is a different shade of gold in the historic photos? Was that simply a reflection of the quality of factory paint back then. Simply awesome car!! Todd

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the nice compliments.

In the vintage photos some of the paint doesn't match well due to some repainting after contact with either a wall or another car. Just one of those cases where I guess they felt close was good enough. I like historical accuracy but wasn't going to go that far. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
