Default A little preview of things to come

The Vette is not the best looking right now



Pre-fitting the L5's



Then we tore apart the car and started stripping the paint on the whole car





Getting ready for primer



Fitting the 18" LED 3rd brakelight



Ready for sanding and buffing



Some new shoes



With new paint coming, it will still have the purple ghost flames too, I just couldn't let the interior go without a little refurbish too John Caravaggio worked his magic and came up with these black leather and purple ultra suede race seats for me along with some other goodies...



Stay tuned....

Very cool Gary.

You're going to need shoe laces to match the seats and wheel.

BTW: The Gentleman's Cruiser is down at Va Speed with Ed now. I made a few changes to the interior and engine bay on that also. Corbeau A4's and have a Down South Vettes steering wheel coming for it. I'll let you know when I come down to pick it up.
