She's almost ready to come home. Should be late Monday or Tuesday morning.







Still need to get some small problems fixed, buffing and emblems installed.
These people are going the extra mile to make sure I'm happy with the whole process.

More to come.

Looks great! Maybe you'll have more luck with this paint job than the last one!

I just had some paint work done and it sucks. How much did that job run? I need to repaint my hood. Lost a tire weight on the Bahn in Germany at 135 MPH and it crashed thru the wheel well and smacked the hood shattering the paint on top. Anyway, that looks like a great job

That color is awesome, especially when the quality of the refinish is good. It looks like they did an great job on your car. It is a kick to have a Vette color people don't see often. Enjoy Ike
