Stupid is as stupid does...forgiven
About two weeks ago I ran a post (vent) about my stupid stunt of backing into my wife's Vette. ($3,200 bucks worth) http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1503746
Here is an update on the repairs, which came out better than I could have ever expected, and finished in 10 days to boot!
With the ouchie...
During repairs...
Good as new...I even had some small chips and dings fixed on the hood and front end.
Since the rear was apart, I did my own blackouts on the tail lights as I never liked the hokey press-in lenses. They came out great and it was cheap and easy. I will do a seperate posting on it.

Did you all have that car at FunFest this year?
If so, I stopped by a took a few pics of this car.
Love the white interior, but then again I'm partial to the white since I have it too.
Oh by the way, paint looks great.
Here is one of the pics of your car, with what looks like your Corvette Club Banner.

That looks really good. Did you do the work yourself, or were you just babysitting it until it was done? Either way it turned out nice.

It's ironic that EVERYONE seems to like the looks of the black wheels against the white, I know I do. I'm the one that talked my wife into them, but she hates them. Says they look too masculine.
