One of the photographers for Corvette Magazine flew up here this weekend to do a photo shoot of my car. It looks like they will be featuring it in an upcoming issue.

Thanks. Everyone at the shop is excited to see it get covered, myself included. I have worked very hard for it.

Oh, and the reason I haven't been on here so much is because I just bought my first house

Couldn't help but notice what appears to be a repair on the front left fender. I might have missed it, but is there a story behind that "owie?"

Oh, and congratulations on the upcoming photo shoot - it's well deserved (but I assume the repair will be done by then

I think if you look at the photos that is a reflection not a repair.

Congrats Jeremy on the house and future mag feature.

I didn't. Although I knew I could do it. I am very fortunate to have a boss who is also my friend, and someone who will always give me advice. He has trained me very well. I get better everyday.

That is a reflection on the fender, not a repair. It's deceiving.

I'm excited to finally have my own house. It wasn't easy, but nothing worth it really is. It has a 2 car oversized garage.

I'll keep you guys posted on the magazine feature. The show in Penticton is on June 28th, so we are getting close.

I just had the vette 3M'd for paint protection.

We leave for Peach city beach cruise in Penticton, BC tomorrow morning.

Wow Jeremy, just wow. You've come a long way on this restoration and your hard work has really shown through. I don't think I've seen a paint job as good as yours. You earned every award you received!

Do you have any new photos of this vette? Would like to see a nice side shot, a bit further away. Hard to get a idea of how the car looks from the close up shots. want full size picks.
