Something awful fishy going on here. Car body is shiny as all getout yet no tinted clearcoat has been applied. Hood is just as shiny yet it HAS been clearcoated. How can that be?

The hood came from Ecklers. The camera added the shine, it did not look shiny in person. See picture below with different camera.

We are trying to figure out what color to do our '76 and that color is on the short list. I am looking forward to seeing it all done. Should look great.

I know what you are feeling '75. I have heard numerous times that I should of got an earlier vette for resell value. Like you, I got exactly what I wanted.
