EB Shop in New Orleans

[BoureeOne]

This is the guy that I have been doing some wheeling and dealing with. The name of his shop is Fast Tint. He started over 30 years ago doing window tint. Does Rhino Lining, and was restoring vintage Mercedes. He is now going to concentrate on EB's only. He will concentrate on making good daily drivers. He can also do full restorations if that is what someone wants. He does not just put a pretty paint job on the rig covering up hidden problems. The blue one I saw today. He really cleaned up the engine bay, rhino lined the inside of the body, painted, new carb, new radiator, a rocker panel and a support under the hood were rusted, so he replaced them. If the drive train feels tight and proper, then he leaves them alone. But if someone wants additional work done, he will do it. He has 3 custom builds currently going on. He is sending pics of some previous builds. I am also including a couple of pics of the Land Cruiser he just finished.

Here is what the blue one above looked like 6 days ago. I had a buddy of mine send me this pic 6 days ago. This was for sale in front of his neighborhood. I called Russell at Fast Tint to let him know. He bought it and had the guy deliver it that same day.

Looks clean. What about the drivers rocker on the blue one?

I noticed yesterday when I looked in the bay while driving by he had a few in there and one outside.

He had the Duffs boxes sitting there with the replacement rocker ready to be installed. He said he didn't want to lose the time waiting for the rocker to come in to get the truck into the paint booth. So he painted it, will replace the rocker, then paint the rocker.

Russell actually showed me a pic of him and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold was in New Orleans filming Terminator 5, was driving by the shop, saw the EB's sitting outside, and came in to look. Russell said he stayed for an hour , and now Arnold wants him to build him an EB. I will get Russell to send me the pic....

Here is the pic of Russell with Arnold at the shop...
