    Such a great car! One of the best stories I heard was from the second generation Long Beach Cavaliers president, Sam Wiggins. He told me how when he was a teenager, Janich lived in the same neighborhood and when he saw that 41 he was star struck. Janich took a young Sam out for his first ride in a custom in this 41.

    Two coats of base color have now been added to the body. Two more will follow.
    Many more detail photos of the final stages of the restoration progress can be seen on the Custom Car Chronicle.

    Yes, the car is painted and put back together mostly. The car is now back in the owners garage and waiting to be upholstered. Then the final assembly can start. Lots more new photos on my Site HERE.
