Re: 1967 GS 400 POST BUUGANDY MIST back from paint I saw this car in person today! it is awesome! Mike brought the ivory mist car over when it was done and it is equally awesome. Mike, do you have any before pictures? Cause that would tell the story too!:3gears:
Re: 1967 GS 400 POST BUUGANDY MIST back from paint Look at the camera flash spot in the last photo. Nice! That's one nice paint job (and underlying body work)!
Re: 1967 GS 400 POST BUUGANDY MIST back from paint car looks great in that color and the work is great (I'm a painter) I do have a soft spot for the 67's as well

Re: 1967 GS 400 POST BUUGANDY MIST back from paint Looks great,,,all of them. Your body/paint friend is really good!! Mike
Re: 1967 GS 400 POST BUUGANDY MIST back from paint Very nice!!! I remember those car's for sale many years back by the racetrack; my friend (Marvin) was going to buy them too. NICE JOB!
Re: 1967 GS 400 POST BUUGANDY MIST back from paint Yes Marvin was at the track that day and he told me about them.I got in my car burning rubber :3gears: to get over there .I have a LONG LONG way to catch Jimmy (his are all done)But I retire in 4 years (maybe I can catch up) o No: I have about 8 more 67 GS that need restored but those are not as rough as the ones I have all ready done.They are from Cali.,Nev,ect... I do have a Black on Black 4-speed HT project (just like the one in Hemmings muscle car magazine).I may be doing SOME liquidating and complete the 5 ongoing projects :Smarty: Working on these cars lately has helped me deal with some tough personal times ray: Yes the Paint work on the cars look great-thank you. but I give all credit to Mike Rippenbark He takes such pride in his work.I tried to have him put a cheap paint job on my 67 GS conv. driver but he said he could not do 1/2 -ss work.So I had a getto paint job done (and it shows).That car is fun 430(low mileage) BBB 400 tranny with 336 posi. :3gears:
Re: 1967 GS 400 POST BUUGANDY MIST back from paint still makes me wonder what ever happened to my 67 GS clone, I sold it in 94 before going to Korea and then saw it on ebay around 2002-2003, emailed the seller and the buyer but never heard from either
