Ken...looks great!
OK...i'll give the details/credit/background....
Johnie G once owned this Hires slider originally, who sold it to Kilroy, who sold it to me, who then sold it to Ken for the magic to happen!
I met Dean (the Hires painter) in Cleveland via ebay who I bought a few 35's from. He owns a body shop and does incredible work! Dean did an awesome paint job...top notch!
Ken, Dean and I soon become even better friends, and many restorations have taken place since our initial meeting! Dean just finished painting my embossed orange crush 55 which Ken is restoring/reassembling for me. Can't wait to see it!
Dave Wojcik did an awesome job blasting and powder coating the tub for Ken. Top notch work!
I currently own another embossed Hires slider that I traded for from Detroit Dave...I can only hope it turns out this nice when Dean/Ken are done with it! I've got a few more machines in the hopper, but will eventually look great...I hope!!!
Congrats Ken!

Very nice! Really neat to see a rare off brand get restored, plus a cool story of ownership
