I stopped by the shop today to check the progress. The passenger side bodywork is pretty much done. He was going to finish off the driver side most likely today with the roof to follow.
It might get it’s forst shot of color this weekend! The firewall and engine compartment is slated to get painted first. And the engine will be dropped in very soon [:p]
He picked up a gallon of the color (2004 Corvette Electron Blue).
:drool::tup:
Just enought metallic in it, but a BEAUTIFUL color. I can not wait to see it on the car.
It may get the major dose of paint on next Saturday of all goes well.
I have been working in the garage on all the smaller parts. Cleaning up the engine compartment wiring, repainting parts, finishing the door panels off. And the interior should be reupholstered by the early part of next week.
I should have a ton of update pics in the next few days with the car getting closer to completion. Hopefully the weather holds out for a bit so I can put some miles on it. [8D]
You honestly think there is a chance in hell I’d be bringing that car to UB?
If anything, I’ll probably get the “I’m not looking” from my public safety friends and do anmassive smoke show along the outer loop…
I went to go check it out again and even put a spot of paint on some tape… drooooool. The color is going to be awesome. Possibly some paint on the car by next Wednesday and then paint the majority of the car next Saturday. I’m camping out at the show as much as I can since it’s that close to getting done.
Funny thing is the amount of attention my car has been getting. People stop in the shop every day to check it out. My painter has his winter full of jobs lined up already. Wait til the car is done.
hey joe, does your car have chrome wheel well molding and the quarter louver? its seems like you do. my g/f dad has nos chrome louvers, and chrome wheel well molding. he brought it in 1982 but he has a base z28. he told me it was a x77 dz motor? i dont know what that means but if you were looking for the chrome louver and wheel wells molding let me know pm me. he has a ton of stuff that he brought for the car and never had a chance to put it on the car. everyting he has he brought and stored it.
