February 12 Feature: Chris Campisi's 65 GTO

Beautiful car, amazing lines and paint. I understand stock and retro, but a nicer set of wheels would make a huge difference. I.e. on Joe Coy's GTO:

regarding the wheels - I have in my garage a set of CCW LM20 wheels but they need fitment tweaking. My friends classic CCW's that you see in the pic fit perfectly so, I called John to order 18" LM20 just to be a little different. When they came the didn't fit even though we used the same specs. That stressed me out so I didn't send them back. I was pretty annoyed and lost interest.

Regarding the paint and finish - you should see it in person - My Friend Vinny "Gunz" Corey did the bodywork and painted it. He is some artist. He is now in Dunedin Florida if any of you need an excellent body and paint professional.
PM for his number.

Chris, awesome! Where are you located, FL? What is the name of the paint?

Again, the car looks amazing, I need a bigger garage!

I live in NY

My buddy that painted the car now lives in Dunedin Fla. he works at a HotRod shop just dying for a side job.

We use Spies Hecker Base and a high solids clear - We waited 6 months for the clear to cure before sanding.

The color was a 05 Mitsu endeavor truck with a slight change in pearl - it called for a loud x1 pearl but we swapped.
