Was the green hornet a Dearborn or Metuchen car? The shock tower caps are phosphate & oil. I thought it was a San Jose car.

Looks pretty solid. I've restored far worse looking projects that had far less upside potential. Thanks for sharing!


We made it to the unveiling of Little Red.

...also a nice job on The Green Hornet.

Yes

I'll post a few more pictures tomorrow. It's been a 21-hour day for me so I'm laying down now.

Are you shooting with a starburst filter? Maybe take a few without it please.

Smart Phone pictures. The lighting in the facility wasn't cooperative. I tried different angles with and without Flash really didn't seem to help any. Of course every picture I took was trying to work around 30 to 50 other spectators...or more.

Unfortunately my friend’s Superbee was not completed in time. Came close but they didn’t want to show the car incomplete.

Well, if you like Little Red, you should start planning to go in 2019, it will there fully restored.

I understand that will be in full 1967 trim with at least one supercharger.  Unfortunately, the 68 parts will be relegated to display for now.

I know Craig has collected several never before seen photographs.

This is the easiest show to go to. Its across the street from Ohare. You dont need a rental car. All the hotels are connected to the venue.
