Man I remember selling one of those when I worked for Dodge. I was 20 and was so much more excited than the customer! My boss let me drive to fill it up before delivery. Just an iconic car.



Sir, that was some amazing work on trashed black. Wonder what you added to the value? LOL!

Thanks Justin, I don't know what I added to the value but the look on the customers face when I delivered the car to him was priceless.

I could only imagine. That's the good thing about being appreciated by a car nut!

Richie, that finish looks amazing.



It is always great to get a reaction like that from a customer who truly appreciates the work as opposed to someone who simply pays for it.

First, beautiful job! That is truly first class work.



Second, your name sounds really familiar. Were you into F-bodies back in the late 90's in Georgia by chance?

Thanks Chris.



I had a 98 Z28 from 98 -05. I attended the Atlanta F-Body Gathering in 99 and 2000.

Cool, I had a '99 Trans Am from '99 through last year and was a member of the Georgia F-body Association for a while.



Your name sounded familiar and I wondered if that may have been how I recognized it.
