Triple Black Comeback

Well........., somewhat. Keeping busy helping folks with maintaining Corvette beautification.
Had a couple of the fellers over to help clay bar, buff, and detail a 22 year old Vette, a DD with 160,000 miles racked up.
Finish was not perfect, some road rash that needs painting, but for the most part, presentable, he's heading for the Keys in a few days.
Of course, the "Wagon Wheels" subject was broached.

Plus some gun talk as well, that goes without saying with this crowd.

Turned out great. Vettes and guns are some of the best toys.

Very nice, considering the age and mileage, it looks well cared for. I am in the process of refurbishing my recently acquired 99.

I have a “twin” to yours. If you are coming to the lower Keys stop by the house for a photo op and a beer.

Thanks for the invite, but not mine. Just to keep things going in the club, we get together and work on anyone's who wants it spiffed up a bit.

Looks like a great way to spend a day with friends. The black paint on that C5 looks great for the miles. These cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed and caring for them is part of the fun.

Nice job on the car. That is a GREAT way to spend a day! Is that a Taurus Judge? The barrel looks too short. I'm a big fan of the Smith & Wesson .500, but that is taking it to another level. Glad to see you guys had fun.

Thanks. As mentioned, that is the Taurus Judge, fires .410 shot, .00, slug, or long .45. Better use two hands. My varmint and snake charmer around the homestead.
