This thread is now dedicated to John Howie.
John was a good friend I met by accident. Once I met John I knew he was a car guy and really had a passion for the cars he worked on. John did all the body work on my GTO.
It was never about the money he could make off of doing the work on a car, rather the joy and satisfaction he saw seeing the car come to fruition. He had hands of gold!
John is also shown in so many forums my other friends had projects going in.
He restored a '68 Road Runner(DodgeCharger.com), a '64 GTO profiled on here, a "69 Daytona Charger(DodgeCharger.com), a Ferrari 308 (Ferrarichat.com)and numerous other projects. Sadly John passed away suddenly on October 14, 2013. He will be missed. I am at a point in my life that I have now completely given up on restoring cars without doing this with John.
I plan on showing my car and once I have it certified concours gold, my trophies will be given to his wife and family as token of my graditude and appreciation for the extraordinary work he did on my GTO.
