In those pictures it looks absolutely perfect!
What's the difference between LL1 and QQ1?? They look a lot alike.

And, what was the tally for the cost of the body and paint? (What is the price of perfection?)

Are you planning on driving it this year?

The QQ1 is bright blue... My LL1 is a darker shade of turquoise with dark blue tint........ Sitting side by side, there's a definitel difference....

Depending on finances, I hope to have her going... The motor's rebuilt, now it's up to me to finish putting it all together with the accessories and paint.. The tranny needs to be done, but that shouldn't take long.... Again, depends on time and the flow of green backs........

The price? Well, I had a "deal" with Smitty, hence the nearly 5 year completion timeframe, albeit, it wasn't suppose to take this long.. Based on the work that was done and the paint job, it would have normally cost close to $15K if not more.....

Very cool dude, I remember that good feeling when I had my '70 Six-pack Charger painted back in 1998. You have some cool cars, and how's the Six-pack Charger coming along?

Hey Big,,
Well, it's nothing more than collecting the appropriate parts here and there for it.. Being a "commoner", I can only have one project going at a time........

Hey Troy, Who is the guy with the Elvis haircut? Looks like a guy I used to hang with several years ago.

That's who I thought that was! I used to work with him and we were friends for years. I'm just outside Huntsville Ala.

Next time you see him tell him Chris Louden said hey!

When I knew him, he didn't do bodywork. He can do most anything else on a car though! Hey if you need a 727 built, Henry's the man! If he's still doing that anyway.

Smitty does it all...... I've been his friend for nearly 5+ years..... Speaking of which, that's how long he had my Charger.. lol

Yeap, I'll be taking the 727 over there this week... He's simply amazing when it come to body work... That's the only reason I waited 5 years to get it done..... What's your name, I'll pass on a "hello" to him.......

Troy,

Everything's looking fantastic - glad it's all worked out for you so far, even though it's been a little slow.  Progress is progress, right?

Topher is good at that but he's also a helluva guy!

Yeah Tell him Chris Louden from Huntsville said hey! Does he have any cars now or just work on others?

He has always been good at working on whatever he wanted to do on a car, just picked up and did it.
