Opel GT on "Trucks!"

spamseptictank · 12-17-2007

OK. Since I'm not a regular poster, I'm not sure if this goes here or in the Opel Sightings forum, but here goes...
I was watching Trucks! on Spike's Powerblock (soft-core porn for gearheads) Saturday where they had the frame of a '68 Chevy p/u blasted and powdercoated. They were talking to the owner of a media blasting company called (IIRC) Stripmasters and in the background of the interview was an Opel GT, primer gray, no doors,glass, etc. I had to call my wife in to see it.
Anyone here have their GT blasted within the last 6 months or so in the TN area? Or maybe the owner of the media blaster company...? Just thought you might like to know that your car was on TV.
FWIW,
Dave

Yes, there is an employee of that company that does have two Opel GTs. Both are in need of a lot of work as far as he has told me. I happened to call there 2 years ago about having one blasted on a rotiserie using soda blast. They suggested using plastic media due to costs. Then I mentioned the Opel and he let me talk to the guy (Matthew I believe, would have to check email account) who owned the Opels there. Just never have been able to physically meet up with him, as he hasn't made any of the meets
