When we last left off John G. had meticulously laid 5 coats of black and 4 coats of clear to this once-dilapidated 1978 Pace Car, and while waiting for the paint to harden he moves on to some other projects. If you need a review of John’s restoration or missed an episode, here are the links: part one, part two, part three, and part four. Each episode is a quick 5-10 minute read with lots of cool pictures, and you won’t be disappointed watching the transformation.

A refresher of what he started with.
