Thanks for posting this Mark. Mike restored Jamie Mc Clinton's 65 Special convertible several years ago. He restores all makes and models. Some of his cars have won major awards.

He was almost finished a gorgeous 69 Camaro convert with a special high dollar Mike Garrison paint formula applied.

In addition, he lost a beautiful 67 Gran Sport convertible factory 4 speed. That's one fewer of the 422 such cars Buick built.


Mike is a straight shooting, honest to a fault person. He and his family are heartbroken over this. Typical of him, his employees were his first concern.
