Update on project68

[tgvettes]

I have lived in the US for 14 years now. I'm from Ostergotland originaly.
I'm about to start building my own Camaro again. have only had new cars for a while. (corvettes, T/A etc. so not to bad) I now have a 2005 Pontiac GTO that is for sale if anyone is interested. Why does it take you 6-10 weeks to get parts from the US. (if not the postal service of course) I can get stuff over to Europe in less then 2 weeks normally.

OK.
I can get it in about a week with air freight sometimes even faster. Summit is very fast, but that is expensiv with bigger things.
When I say 6-10weeks I mean by boat.
And it is always closer to ten than 6.
And now it is even worse because of the dollar is so low.
And often I experiense that the freight time in The US to the harbor can take long time. Up to 1,5 week I have experiensed in soem cases.

Good luck with the camaro build.

[tgvettes]

yeah by boat of course makes sense that it takes a while.

The brand i Deber i think.
It is a special blend. This is a one of a kind and the recipei is closly guarded
I think I have writen a bit about it earlier in the thread. But I can take it again.

We base it on a coarse metallic silver. Then a lot of orange candy and a little of red candy. But the secret really is in the painters fine craftsman ship and attention to detail.
