hello
well i thought i would join seeing how i am putting vette together and you can get enough info on putting one of these together.
the vette i got is a 1966 but it pretty much looks like a 67. it has a 427 in it. it's actually my dads care i just put it together for him.
when we got it it was all busted up. it took along time to get it back together. but i get all proud of my self when i see it now cause i made a diamond out of dog chit. i hope you like the pics. this is the first vette, or fiberglass care i ever worked on. I've built hot rods and customs but this is my first vette.
this is her worst point of life that she was in

this is her all stitched back up and starting to get smoothed out

just washed it and now it's ready to be painted

here she is all rapped and ready to be painted

just put the sealer on and letting it set before applying the paint

just finished the first stage and am letting it set , before spraying the clear

here she is, just finished spraying the clear

thank's. when it's all over it probably would of been cheaper to buy one finished. but i am glad this one got saved by us nothing like seeing the there faces when i show them the before pics. it took me along time to get it where it is. i just finished putting the back window in today just have to finish the interior and the glass. do you know how to replace the weather stripping on the window vents? it looks like i have to take the glass out but it's bracket is held in with rivets.
