Looks good....I hope to have mine painted sometime soon here. I am going to paint on the decal kit and clear over it though instead of using the decal kit.

Awsome car ! I also have a 78 and love it, but still can't believe I have one in my garage.

Nice looking Silver Anniversary. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of seat covers are those?

Re: MY 78 VETTE (DMONSVETTE)

The seat covers are definitely saving me! I don't want to know what the previous owner did in that drivers seat...one of the many uses of telescopic steering I suppose.

Restoration, then performance, definitely! :cheers:
