another awesome paint job

[Tommy]

This camaro belongs to a friend of mine. He has owned it for a bunch of years. he had this paint applied in the 70's here in Huntsville,ALA. It's black now and in need of another repaint. It is the M20, 327/275 hp car and still retains its original drivetrain (tranmission is out with a tooth ache right now). He told me the paint cost 1500 bucks back then and had a lot of flake in it that the pictures don't show.

brings back some memories...that is one wild paint job!

The painters name is/was Danny Majors who lived in Huntsville but moved to California sometime after this paint job which was done in 1976.

Thats an Alabama car http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif. It's a little more relaxed down here. Dad got cash back in the mail once from the courthouse when he paid too much for car tags... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
