Default 67 Elco L78 Deepwater over bright blue.

Jeff Helms' car - these are photos from the AACA Spring Charlotte meet- he got his First junior there and this past weekend at the AACA Fall National meet he got his First Senior-
You won't find a better restored car or more attention paid to details than Jeff... we talked for a while at Charlotte and then again for a while in Greenville, he pulled me aside and said, you will appreciate this and pointed out the runs in the black paint on the rad support from being dipped etc. Also I noted correct wiper bottle screw caps.
He also had door panels made the way there were done by GM. They have blocks of fiber board glued into the positions of the raised areas and then the "actual surface" is stretched down and thermally bonded in low points, creating sharp distinct breaks VS raising areas by filling the void with foam... drag your fingers across an original and they go thump thump thump. drag them across Jeff's... same thing thump thump thump. I think he said a year to get the pair done.

Could a moderator move this to the L78 Forums...
