Back in Black! 1969 GTO!!!
Back in Black! 1969 GTO!!!
Den, short for Dennis, joined our forum in April of 2013. His first post was when he signed up for our Thursday Night projects to help buff out the North Miami Police Mobil Command Unit, this project.
North Miami Beach Police Mobil Command Unit - Show Car Makeover
In fact, here's a picture of Den working on Mobil Command Unit...
Here's Jim using the Rupes Bigfoot 15
At the time, I didn't know the specific reason Den started attending our Thursday night classes except he wanted to learn how to polish paint.
Later, I found out the reason he wanted to learn how to polish paint was so that he would have the skills and knowledge to both perfect the custom paint job being planned for his 1969 GTO and then how to maintain it after he made it perfect.
That's the story behind the story. But there's more...
Den had a black 1969 GTO in High School and decided to recreate his high school car because it was his dream car back then and he wanted to get the dream back.
Here's two pictures Den sent me from his high school days...
This is classic....
Since the first Thursday night class Den has been a regular for almost all of our projects, here's just a few to give you the idea...
Den was attending our Thursday night classes to hone his skills to be able to tackle his own car, a GTO painted in SINGLE STAGE URETHANE BLACK PAINT!
Probably one of the hardest paints to create a perfect, flawless finish on...
Here's some pictures of Den working on some of the projects we've pumped out of our garage in the last year...

Nice! Great looking ride. In particular I note that in the photo reflections of things with crisp edges such as the banners, there are no jaggy edges due to the effects of orange peel that you typically see.
