Let’s Go Swimming In This Custom Metallic Blue at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop!

This amazing custom blended metallic blue 2-stage paint was formulated by V8 Speed and Resto Shop painter Jeff Wittlich before he sprayed it on a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster we’re restoring in the shop. These photos are “straight out of the gun”, meaning the paint has not been sanded or polished… but will sparkle even more when it is! The V8 Speed and Resto Shop Body and Paint Center is top-notch, and we’re always happy to spray original or custom colors on classics, customs, and muscle cars. Click To See More!

1968 Chevrolet El Camino Bodywork And Paint at V8 Speed and Resto Shop

This very cool 1968 Chevrolet El Camino is a real, numbers-matching L78 396 SS with a Muncie M22 4-speed.  These are very rare 375 HP engines, found in only 393 ’68 ElCaminos new.  It came to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop looking to be straightened out and to look like it did when new.
