"I believe" that Barry just says he likes that red vette thats going to be auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson auction because if you read this longlong long thread hesnot allowed any thing but BLUE!
I may be off topic!

Barry what a great time to have that car in the shop with all the storms going right up the coast.
 So what is his completion date?

No idea, ebo! Told him to take his time and do it right. But you do have a point. Every time we get snow (or even the cold) I'm really glad that its inside safe and warm!  Wink

I never said I didn't like red , just prefer mettalic or candy apple red. If you remember, the kicker on this car is the dark blue interior. Don't want to change that AND the paint. So really I was left with blue, silver and white. THEN came the Color Police who all told me I shouldn't change such a rare color. I guess they're right because even Lew (the painter) agreed and so far everyone I've talked to said the same thing. Too late to turn back now!!!!!!!

Got to see the car for a moment Friday (1/14/2011) but couldn't take pics beacause they were activley sanding the car to put on the final coat of primer. Color goes on this week! I felt better about my car again. There was another Vette there with mine, also in primer. When I asked about it, the body tech told me " Oh, that one's just a sand down and repaint, NOTHING like yours!" They told me it had been previously painted with a roller (in house paint!) and the new owner just wanted it cleaned up. Good to know their outlook on mine is totally different! Can't wait to see it in color!
