Just finished her

I have been working on stripping the paint for the last year and a half. I finally got done spraying it and I figured I'd share.

I built the car with my dad and it took us over 3 years on and off. I Hope you enjoy!


Ill post up some more. This was just from a show a few weeks ago.
Its a 1971 all original (besides the paint) 454 4 speed corvette

Clean & classic, nice. I painted a 73 vette back in college with a roomate. Nice work, did you do the body work/paint yourself?

yea.I bought the car completely disassembled. It came on 3 flat bed trucks. I polished every original bolt on the car so I could keep everything correct. Thats the factory color and I did all the body work and paint myself. I must say, this is my second vette Ive done and I am tired of the fiberglass. Its frustrating, but thank you for the compliments. I enjoy it. I am going to scan some pics I had taken of the car when it was being restored. Ill have those up soon

I am sure I can find you something. I have tons of hook ups with vintage corvette parts. When do you need them? I know there is the NCRS annual car show in orlando in January. They have a huge swap meet and I have seen everything there. I can check it out when I go if you'd like. Also, there are people in our corvette club that have great connections. I'll see what I can get

Awesome! My dad had a 76 with the 454/4speed in it. I like the blue better than the silver he had.

Looks great! I helped my dad do some minor restore work on his 64 vette. It was a great time. We are now working on a 57 belair. It's nice to be able to spend time with my dad doing something we both love...as I'm sure it was the same for you.
