I took a pic of your car today! Posted it on Instagram #68ramrod.
Absolutely awesome car.....love the odd color combo! Black on lt blue was very cool to see!🚀

Good to hang out today with a couple of old buddies from here, Darryl (OLD SKL 69) and Rob (Beob). Darryl, the car looked awesome...Rob, nice to see the 442 back on the road, it looked great! Nice to see Michelle too! Was also good to see a couple of friends pick up first place trophies ! My friend Bobby picked up a first with his beautiful '68 442 Triple Blue convertible! My other friend picked up a first place with his highly customized '67 Quadruple Blue convertible 442! Unfortunately, they put him in the class with all stock and beautiful 442's, so we felt bad for those guys. He should have been in a customized class. By the way, if anyone saw the car, let me know what you thought of the paint job.....

Glad the show went well and the weather was perfect, maybe next year...

Thanks for the kind words and posting pics of my car. It's actually a deep blue exterior,a lot of people think it's black. Sorry I didn't get to see you today.

Yes the paintwork was beautiful on the car! You are right though it was a sin they had that car in that class. Looks like they had a few issues with classifying the cars because they also had a W31 in the cutlass class when it should have been with the 442 and W performance car class...

Shouldn't your user name be Trophyblue & Rust 442?

ent72olds

😃. Thanks Greg! I painted it! But, yes, the car should have been in another class....it was kind of unfair to Kleerdorfer's 442! It got 2nd, but has been one of my favorites since I first saw it at Seven Springs!

ent72olds

Wow...my bad! Well, either way, gorgeous and rare car!

You do body work? Or can you recommend me a good body shop?

ent72olds

You live in Brooklyn as I can see by your avatar. I will be out that way training a shop called Knights Collision. Although I wouldn't quite recommend them yet. If you are willing to travel east, I have a few hours shops I can vouch for. And yes, I do body and paint....only not for a living anymore....

ELY442

Yes i have heard of Knights Collision. Ok, let me know which shops you can vouch for or you do small body work. I had a leaky garage roof and all that rain dripped onto my driver side front fender and the paint bubbled up. Can you do this kind of work?

ent72olds

Yes Ely. I can do small stuff like that. Is it original paint on the fender or has it been repainted to your knowledge?

ELY442

The whole car was repainted about 20 yrs ago with PPG Deltron. The color is Sherwood Green.

That old beat up 1950 "Gregory's Speed Shop" is cool and different, wonder if that style is dry lake bed speed record? Looks like it to me. Wonder if that is a "tribute" to that or an historically accurate and true car.

Hey Dan, look at the date of this thread. Go get that second cup of coffee.

I got bit again on this frustrating feature. I start a reply or think about it but use page up to re-view a certain photo while composing what I wish to comment on, then hit page down and start a reply, BUT it goes all the way down past the thread and into a "related thread" and I end up posting on the wrong thread. Grrrrrrrrr...
