Great work! I'm sure she is really turning heads now. You must be proud. I can’t believe someone would go so crazy with all that yellow. I bet that was hard work to get it all out.

A little paint stripper, and a spray bottle. The prep must have been bad most of the engine bay come off easy.

Greg, I missed you at Lowes on the 19th? Probably because I was very late, but did have the 72 out! Thought I saw you driving down 313 earlier that day? Your welcome to see the cars any time you like.

Thanks! This one was a frame on or rolling resto, now I'm more prepared for a frame off. Put 700 miles on already, it's a blast

That's just disturbing to look at.

I was curious, what are those over your front turn signals? Never seen them before.

Great job on the vette. It turned out spectacular. Enjoy the fruits of your hard labor this summer and keep it out of the garage doing whatever you like to do with it. Show it, drive it, cruise it, just enjoy it.
