Attended Barrett Jackson Auction in Scottsdale

This week Tony, Dale (Tony's painter) and I visited the Barrett Jackson Auction in Scottsdale. An amazing event.  Quite an event to network and among many collectors, I met Bob Russo of Billybobscars.com located in Jackson, NJ.  He had heard about my Z06 and already knew it was a black/red car.  I mentioned that I'm researching the owner history and that all the owners seem to have been in Norther NJ.  He kindly offered to help.  Looking forward to talking to him more.

Barrett Jackson, Scottsdale, AZ.

I spoke with the owner of this '69 COPO ZL1 Camero, the Hemi Cuda and '65 GTO.  This is where I met Bob Russo.

'70 Hemi Cuda...amazing car.

'64 GTO....also amazing

This is an all original '63 SWC - lots of unique parts on this December '62 car.

Brake Backing Plates - Media Blasted and Painted

We completed the headlamp assemblies and the brake backing plates.  Everything is coming up really well.  It's amazing for a New Jersey car, there was just surface rust on items and, after media blasting and painting, these are coming out like new.
