I realize this is a day late as far as thanksgiving goes, but I dont feel like going shopping and fighting crowds...so,

I am so thankful I have a painter through this forum. Fred D. Zwiger has been working on vettes for 40 yrs. His friendliness, honesty and corvette knowledge are second to none.

Same goes to my buddy Dean with all his mechanical expertise.

And thankful I still have a job, although there are never any guarantees.

Car was originally a baby light blue, but I'm thinking Bridgehampton Blue or something like that. I got about a month before that needs to be settled.

Any med blues out there? Feel free to help my color selection.

Hey Dan,
There is another pic of my 72 Targa Blue Coupe in my profile.
Bridgehampton Blue (71) and Targa Blue (72) are the same. Both # 979.
HTH.
