Default SHE'S BACK!! (Not dialup friendly)

Okay I promise no more whinning by Cali. :jester
My mistress is back where she belogs in the garage after I just got her back from the painter.


That plastic protected the interior which leaks although it is brand new seals throughout :confused:

This poor 80-82 needs some major TLC.



She looks so good back in her spot.


No more spiderwebs and chunks of paint missing


I'm so stoked!! :cheers: :cheers:

Be-yoot-e-full. Cherish the moment... they are only like this so long. :( I wish there was some way we could preserve this!

That is definitely flawless. Don't beat on the 'vette too hard to make up for lost time!

After seeing this close up picture of yours, i'm starting to think mine might have been repainted 94 Porsche blue. All I know is that it was repainted about 10 yrs ago and this picture looks pretty close to my color. Hmmmm :confused: I wonder. My car looks much more blue in the sig pic, but up close, it's somewhat aqua.

Actually last night I got a HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM in the driver's seat.

"SORRY HONEY NOT ON THE PAINT! " YES NOT EVEN FOR THAT! :)

My girl came over sporting 2 Quiznos subs/ 6-pack Dos Equis (spel?), 2 limes, and a halter top. I was still in the garage all sweaty, wearing all that rim polish on my face the grinder had kicked up. She served me a beer, sub and asked if I need dessert. God bless good girls.

:cheers:

Actually Brett I think you have me confused with Paul79. It was an original silver car and the prior owner had painted it a ford blue which i did not like but I found this blue by accident and loved the way it came out.

Thanks all for compliments.
