Looks like you had fun. :D BTW I like the body mods you've done. I especially like the louvres on the front fenders. Always wanted to do that to mine but never had the guts to cut into it.

Awsome Vette! What color are you going to paint her?
I like your spoiler! Is this a custom built one or one that you can buy?

:cheers:

I think that was probably the HARDEST thing to do!!!! ..cause once you drill out a pilot hole and actually stick the saw blade it there...it is ''do or die''! :lol:

Gonna paint her ''Tuxedo Black''.
Well yes and no on the spoiler.
got it from Vancors and after it was bolted on....we did some glass work to mold the edges into the top of the fenders...I am very pleased with the results. :)

Nice can't wait to see her when she's painted. I bought that same hood for my car. Did you cut out the front of the cowl? I was thinking about that but I thought ot would let too much air and debris in. Have you heard of anyone building an airbox for the hood?

Looking good Rose! That thing is starting to show some attitude! It'll look great in black.

Dave
Attitude!? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: THAT is an understatement!! ''SHE'' is getting more like ''Mama'' all the time!

Quikstik..
Looks awesome Rose!! You and "Al" have done a great job with the fiberglass.
Can't wait to see her in person!! We need to set a date to all get together soon. I haven't had a chance to check on the Huntersville location yet. Life got REEAAALLL busy here lately. I'll tell you about it when we meet!!

Once again ...... AWESOME!!!
Thanks Mark....we really had done well with this project....have had some ''problems'' that we had to think out but all in all been fun doing it!
I agree on the ''get-together''..have been watching Buckos..so far no sign about the ''cruize-ins''as of yet.
Sounds like an ''interesting'' story!! BTW..you gonna show up for the Poker Run?

TTop Tony..
Nice can't wait to see her when she's painted. I bought that same hood for my car. Did you cut out the front of the cowl? I was thinking about that but I thought ot would let too much air and debris in. Have you heard of anyone building an airbox for the hood?
Yea I did ...I originally make a ''screen'' for it...to stop anything from going down thru it...but since the ''change'''still have no got the hood cut out .
Airbox???? Not sure what you mean,

Steve..
It looks great I just love it.
:)..I knew I could get a positve response for you! Thanks!

MassVette..
Wow! Looks VERY cool! Nice work!
Thanks!

Smoked Tires.
Very nice indeed

I want a digital camera sooooo bad
Thanks.....what ya need to do is just GO and buy one!!! never realized just much more CONVENIENT it is to have one till I just wnet and bought one!

1970Stingray..
ooks good. Where'd ya get that hood? I want one.

It looks like the B-M hood?
Actually started out with buying the ''stinger'' hood from Ecklers...then Hubby got ''fancy! :lol:..decided to cut the stinger off and put it on the original hood!! I like it the way it is now.....cause NO one else has a hood quite like it.

groovyjay..
Looking good Rose. When are you going to get it painted? Can't wait to see it all black!
Not sure on the paint...still had some more body work to do....waiting on the ZR-1 replica rear bumper and the tail-light conversion kit...and still have more work to do around the headlights....hoping...maybe..sometime this summer.
