Project 63 Paint Progress

June 28, 2013 Uncategorized

The paint is starting to look great! It is totally amazing at how bad you have to make the new lacquer paint look with the color sanding process before the final polishing can be done.

June 16, 2013 Uncategorized

All I can say is WOW! A friend from the GM plant had a pre-production 2014 C7 Corvette out at Cars and Coffee today.

We get some nice pictures with our 60, I think this one might be on the list to buy but maybe in red.

Project 63 gets primer

Project 63 got some primer this weekend.

Project 63 gets a some new skin and bling

June 6, 2013 Uncategorized

Well while we had the transmission out for a 5 speed sway we decided to go ahead and rebuild the numbers matching 327. Unfortunately that is adding 4 weeks to the project so while I have some down time we decided to repaint the car and have the bumpers re-chromed.

At some point the car had a 3rd tail light and when they were removed the repair job was not so good so I got the old repair out and did a proper fiberglass graft. The rest of the glass was in very good shape requiring just minor repairs.
