Its Spring Cleaning! PICS Inside!!

Well I have decided that after a year of driving my vette I am going to do some things to her and make her a nice day driver. First thing was to start out with a bath and then touch up some stuff with a little paint. Check out some of the stuff that happened today, Will keep it updated as I finish things.

Up on jack stands

Calipers are painted and some stuff takin off

Some parts in primer. Plan on paint tomorrow

The rail stripes can't be any worse than that damned hood stripe. But, the top will be the most fun!

Did the stripe ends/edges ever roll on over? Good God those things are a son of a *****.

I need to drop my other covers off for some work.

I stuck them last night. They stuck right away. No problems. Bring them covers over. I will make them look so much better than the GM ones at a fraction of the cost.
