I am in the process of opening my own place. Being active duty does lend well to devoting much time to my passion, restoring cars. That hasnt stopped me from getting jobs though. I am elbows deep in a '68 GTO vert resto-mod and just picked up a '66 Chrysler 300 to polish up a bit.

50 coats is possible with laquer. Thats probably what they used, old school techniques. Laquer is 90% bonder and 10% material so it takes lots of coats to get the desired effect.

they are jerks if they chose to use laquer on a 3rd gen firebird , if it was an earlier car from 60's early 70's id say ok... laquer just isnt gonna cut it tho for modern day and if you use that on your show car that isnt a factory resto or somthing like that i find that incredibly stupid...

Man that vette looks good. Here are a couple of jobs I have done (since I am a pic ***** ). The last one is the GTO I am working on.
