Back From Paint - Finally!

Some of you remember our "Project Black Light" C4 from a long time ago... Basically, it was a poor attempt at a Grand Sport clone which we tore apart and basically forgot about. Well, we got on it again, and now it's wearing its new Electron Blue paint.

Before:

After:

It now has the correct '96 lower fenders and wide body moldings (All GM pieces, btw) to go with the '96 front and rear bumper covers. In addition, we've replaced all the weatherstripping (the usual issue on C4's), and thus far, I'm happy with the results.

We're still in the process of putting it together, so better pics will be forthcoming.

I work on a couple of the Corvettes on the Gulf members rides, but I don't belong to any clubs myself (no time).

Looks great. If you are going for a '96 look, make sure and paint the panel between the driving lights and the corner lights in front. '96 was the only year they were body color instead of black.
