Green LS6 progress

Many of you know that I recently bought an LS6 from Rob (k92) and now the car has just had it's initial painting done.
The guys over at Nostalgic Autobody have gone to great lengths to make every panel align on this car near perfectly, if not exactly.
They matched the existing color of the car, instead of just shooting color according to the code book.

Here's a group of pictures showing the same area of the car as it has progressed. I have a lot more pictures and will post a few others as the rest of the body is painted and buffed, then assembled.
From top to bottom shows how the car was found, then disassembled, before the bodywork, during bodywork, and finally with the initial painting.
Disregard the column shifter in one pic as it's just a steering column we threw in to move the car around.

-----Hey, Rick,,,Ive seen that garage before!!!!!! Looks like you are making big time progress there.
-----If some of you dont yet know Rick, he deserves this nice LS6. Hes been working in the trenches too long. Hes always had the capability to do all this stuff but its my guess that stuff (life) has gotten in his way too many times. Happens to the best of us. Dont ask me how I know. Now appears to be the time and I expect great things out of him as he is as knowledgeable and capable as most everybody on this board.........Bill S

-----By the way,,,,Love the John Deere cowling storage spot!!!!!!!!

Re: Green LS6 progress

Rick,

Not to burst your bubble , or your excitement....But I strongly urge you to GET THEM DARN 70 PARTS OFF OF THAT 69 POST SEDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this is the way you would treat a real SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan...I may have second thoughts of finding you one!

P.S. Fix the antenna...Too!

Your LS6 is looking GREAT!

Dan.
