“This past year was a very rewarding time for the 1948 Austin,” said Steve Jenkins. “I am thankful for everyone who has worked to make this 18-year project a success. A special thank-you goes to Straight Line Customs for the final bodywork and spraying the beautiful BASF Deep Black paint.”
“BASF is proud of everyone who worked tirelessly to restore the Austin,” said Tina Nelles, Marketing Services Manager for BASF Refinish. “We appreciate their partnership with us and dedication as a Glasurit customer.”
