Default '72 Re-build Project Completed

This has been sitting in my buddy's garage for the last three years in various stages of a rebuild, don't have the before pics, have a few of the after though. Turned out nice.

Hard to say from the pictures, the color could be pewter silver too. Nice looking car, although I'm partial to the silver/red combo...

Looks like SSG to me. What shade of red is that?! Looks like fluorescent Da-glo red. That is eye-poppin' RED.

Love what you've done with your car. If you have the mechanicals in as good shape as its appearance, get ready for a LOT of fun. Folks will be all over that car at cruise-ins and car shows.

Looks beautiful!

I've always loved the silver/red combo or even silver w/blue interior.

I know at least 3 years, $$$-?. Hard to say, never asked him, but $ is not an issue. Been buying and selling Corvettes for over 30 years.

All the nice compliments are appreciated, but it's not mine, just showcasing my buddy's efforts. I will relay them to him.
Thanks guys.
