It looks great. What did you replace and what remained?

Since it is a 72, I assume it is the original elkhart green, correct? My '72 looks more like the skin of a lime, your's seems to have a bluish tint maybe it's just the light.

Seats,instruments and console are all original,just cleaned them up.Carpets are new,e-brake console is new and seatbelts were restored at seatbelysity in New Jersey.I'm sure the blue tint is because of the lighting, but I'd like to see both our cars together just to see the differences in the paint.Mine was done in Basecoat-clearcoat and color sanded for that final look.I am thinking of going to the corvette show in Katonah,NY this Sunday if the weather is OK.I would've like to have gone to the big show at the Southbury training school on Sunday but I heard that the cutoff date was 1971!
Hope to see you around

Roy,

I am going to try and get to Katonah this weekend myself. I will look out for your LT-1. Mine is the former 72-mint car. Keep in mind that mine was painted 20 years ago in lacquer according to Terry.

Here is a link to some recent pics after a clay, glaze and wax (the one's on the driveway).
