Very schweet! :cool:

Yours looks like it's brand new and could be sittin' on the showroom floor.

Looks like red interior in the 78SA next to you also. Haven't seen too many of those.

Was that the America's Corvette Clubs show in Lauderdale? I wanted to go, but was tied up with family matters (dad's 80th birthday). I live in Wellington and am interested in finding out more about that club. Any info would be helpful.

Awesome car, by the way!

Looks like a great place for a car show. Also looks like a pretty good turn out. I can`t wait for spring to get here. I have already missed the first car show of the year here in Knoxville.

Paul, that is an amazing paint job!

I am ready to start following the Lars instructions (as you did) and begin my work. Do you have any additional pictures to the ones on your website to your stripping and sanding work?

Thanks everyone. It's a great feeling having the paint project complete. I didn't win the show and there's why. Overspray! The last two week ends I pulled the tires and painted the inside of the fender wells black, pulled the hood back off and painted in front of the rad and the complete motor compartment. Also painted the frame and the wiper well, so now I think that I can win. Even if I don't win some shows its such a great feeling just looking at the finish product. I have to thank Lars one more time for his help with all of my questions.
Volvette- I have some more pic's of the stripping process, but the one's on my web site are the best.
