Return of steel cities gray........

IMO Steel City Grey is one of the best C3 colors ever. Combined with a black interior that is going to be a sweet ride. Looks like SSG is the original color from the side vent pic. :thumbs:

Your car is going to look beautiful in SSG, keep us updated with plenty of pics. What steering wheel is that, I am looking for the same one. Where can I get it and how much is it approximately?

I agree, I always thought steel cities gray was a beautiful color.
Good luck,
Tom

For obvious reasons I also agree SCG is a great color especially since it was what your car was born with :thumbs:.....I see your pic of codes 437 & AC......437 is short for 19437 or sport coupe.....below is a pic of the codes written under the rear deck area on my 71.

Alan,
I think I've seen those vapor barriers in the Corvette Central catalog.

Nicely done, any draw backs using that citrus strip from what I can see it looks like it works fantastic.

Its not as strong as the others. But..........it is safer and I can leave it on for at least 24 hours. I have no choice ,I cant take it off any sooner because of work. The red paint job was laid on thick over the factory paint and it takes a while for the CS to work its way down under it. It would be ideal to remove the stripper 15 to 18 hours later but I cant due to work. the second coat got all the way to the bodywork on the bare fiberglass and the bonding seams. I put on the 3rd coat tonight and hope to be done with 90% of the stripping after removing it. the last 10% should be fun :crazy:

I will be following this thread closely my red 71 is also SCG 988
I am going to have a little fun with it for now but will return it to the original color in the near future.
