66 Chevelle SS
I restored this car from start to finish myself and didn't hire out any jobs to anyone except I did have the tires mounted and balanced. I did however , have some help from some friends and family with some of the labor intensive jobs like block sanding, bead blasting and hanging and welding of the exhaust system. This was a full blown frame off rotissorie restoration. I started this restoration march 15th and finished september 18th 2008. I'm a paint and bodyman and I work in a high end restoration shop in Ga. We specialize in muscle and custom cars. http://jenjacs.com/
