Default Project downhill and Inspiration for others!

This is my second corvette body work project. I know there are those that have projects that have some work ahead of them. My journey on this had some bumps, but for now the body and paint are behind me. Take a look, it's going to be a nice driving car.

Drivetrain removed bodywork underway



Frame was sandblasted and painted with satin black. Rebuilt the engine and trans, an all other parts rebuilt for drivetrain



After fitting front clip (found a super nice original) putting on some slick sand to see how rough it really was after fitting and bonding.



Prep for primer surfacer



Body work getting smooth



Sealing off getting ready for paint




After painting taking a step back



Outside getting some sun,will buff out next week

So......You've been keeping this from us.....and finally got a guilty conscience?


Do me a favor and post the ugliest pic you have of her in the "Resue" thread before it's too late and

the car is unrecognizably perfect!
