Default Finally!!!
I finally got my C3 back from paint. A friend of mine did the work and he did a great job (especically considering what I paid). He found out the car was originally painted silver. He knew that I wanted the Red, so he painted it torch red, and added a pearl to the paint. It looks great in the sun. So far, my first vette is turning out to be a wonderful experience!!! I'll post pics on Monday!!

Sorry guys. I changed one of the brake calipers and had to bleed the system to get the car drivable again. Now that things are straight, I'll get those pics up tomorrow (I promise).
