That's cool.

My only thing is those cars need to be restored by a different shop than gas monkey. Not taking away from them. But they need to be brought back like Dave's Camaro. Everything needs to be perfect in every way and not done on a time crunch or budget. Richard is an ass IMOP and just makes his guys half ass most things to get it out the door. I feel bad for these cars actually.

Great article Frank! Thanks for finding it.

I've gotta agree with smokinss on them doing a rush job which usually ends up as a crummy restoration....

A guy wanted them fully restored to use as the centerpieces of a Pontiac museum in North Dakota, and he wanted them done in 60 days,” he says. “A full restoration for a regular shop would take a year or year-and-a-half, but we finished both cars in 60 days.
