My Alpine was restored by my brother-in-law,
Lee L. Miller in Pond Eddy, New York (near Port Jervis)
His business is building street
rods and he graciously agreed to do my restoration.
Here's his business card:
The printing did not scan well. The phone number is: (914)557-8180
Back in 1979, he performed a less intensive retoration which gave me 20 more years of street use.
In the late 90's, I noticed that
the rot was returning and the paint was fading. So, I took the plunge.
With the help of Curt Meinel at
Classic Sunbeam Auto Parts, I purchased all the parts and Lee got to work.
Because Lee had an operating business,
he worked on my car as he had time.
His time was meticulously cataloged
and came to 365.5 total hours.
Parts from Lee were $1207. My parts
total was $1761.
The color was originally Carnival
Red. Lee used DuPont ChromaPremier SS - RS628N : SpectraMaster Red
The formula is:
850J Brilliant Red

884J LS Red Oxide 6.0%
