Congrats on getting that family owned car back to where it is today. That shop did some world class amazing second to none metal body work wow. Incredible car with a super awesome story to go along with it. thank you ! I had David wise inspect the car not long ago. he told me, VIC Calvert @ Carolina classic restorations [Spartanburg South Carolina] --> http://carolinaclassicrestorations.com/ is up and coming in a big way. it has been a long process to get this done and make it really nice. i did not want to change any metal if I could avoid it in the beginning . I am glad they did ! -0- rust.... and a first class job. it should be complete very soon !

Car's looking great !!!! Sucks about the glass.... I'm taking it it will show... Plus, now there's a weak point for potential cracking.... I had this issue with the front glass I had installed in a 70 Gran Coupe convertible... I had to go through 3 windshields...

I have already posted this in another forum, but I will add to it here. The owner of Carolina Classic Restorations in Spartanburg SC. has passed away. Vic was only 51 years old. he was more than a business associate. he was a true friend. I watched him grow into what I think, was about to become one of the finest restoration shops anywhere. as screwed up is the world is, it was too good to be true to find Vic right here in my home state to do my car! how many times do you find a man that is honest, and works 90 hours a week but, still takes time out for his son? it seems that so many times the very best end up getting a life cut short. And so, it is for vic. I dont know what the future holds for his shop as we will have to see about all that. I personally will do my best to honor his part in the incredible story that goes with my car. for those who have fallowed this resto, I will continue with it until its completion!

Way to young. I just spoke with him at MCACN and then just after that at his shop. Rest in Peace.
