Post some dramatic before/after pics.
This could be fun, I really like to see the hard work and dedication we all put into our Vettes.
Check out my sig pic, when I first posted it a forum member said the before pic looked as though the car was stored under water :eek:

I got them at Summit. Those are Autometer Phantom gauges (5 inch speedo and tach and 2 1/16 center gauges)

OK - here is my first set:
Before
After
Now the vette:
My only pic of the 75 when running - and me in it.
Now, the 75 is all but gone ....
The 70 started off something like this ...
note the top of the windshield frame is missing.
... and as she sits today - WSF fixed - ready for front clip to go in.

Re: Post some dramatic before/after pics. ('79ProwlerOrange)
79ProwlerOrange and Mystery Machine, thanks.
The wheels are Edelbrock 454's, Ultra makes them and Edelbrock sells them. I bought the polish/luster finish, but when I opened up the box they were chrome. I was a little nervous about the wheels, but they have the same kind of look of the Grand Sports so I hoped it would be okay.
Here's a picture of the polish/luster finish.
Another picture of the chrome.
