The '72 Is Finished
Its been a year since I finished the rolling chassis - complete with a ZZ4, reinstalled the body (that was literally falling apart) and trailered it down to Rick Osborne at Coastal Corvettes in Southport, NC. Well, we finally brought her home and thought forum members might like to see the finished machine. We think she's a beauty. The paint is Diamond Mist Irredescent, the interior is medium blue and the custom top is navy. I'm hoping the picture will show. I've never posted one before, so here goes.

Wow, that is nice. Love the paint. Who's brand/color. In other words, where can I get some. :D
And what does Texaggie mean? :confused:

Ken,
She looks great. It has come a long way since my dad and I helped you get the body back on it before going to Rick's shop. Good choice in wheels too. I can't wait to see her around town. :cheers:

Re: The '72 Is Finished (Texaggie)
For those who wanted a few more pics here they are. As regards tire sizes for the Kumhos - Front 225/50/ZR16 and rear 255/50/ZR16. I got them from TireRack for a total price of around $350. The Centerline Daggers have a 4" backspacing and 0 offset. As regards the paint, it is made by Glasurit, which I understand to be a subsidiary of BASF.
