Was at a car show last weekend in a small community that's about 50 miles from town. One fellow that attended brought his 72 Javelin. He was telling me the car just came home from a small high end paint/ restoration shop where it had spent most of the winter. I personally know the shop well. The car is white with a half vinyl top and a black stripe down the side similar to what the 70 Buick GSX's had. Apparantly the only metal work done was a small amount in the trunk area. His bill was 800 hrs. at $75.00 per hr. I didn't say anything but wondered why he would drive it 50 miles on open hiway to get it to the car show, especially this time of year when the roads are not really cleaned of the winter sand and rocks. I would be protecting that car like a mother does her young.
