Pink Floyd Day 1

March 1, 2016 C1 Corvette, Project Pink Floyd

Sunday March 25th 2012 began the Pink Floyd restoration and face lift. Debby and I worked most of the day setting up a staging area along with a labeling and documentation system. When we took the drives door apart we found a small surprise, had a little missing fiberglass at the top that I will need to reconstruct but no big deal. The other issue is removing the screws holding in the passenger door striker, I may have to drill them out.

More news tomorrow.
