[QUOTE=L82vette77]I'm contiplating doing mine next winter or the winter after. Can you continue to take pictures and write comentaries as you go including such things as type of sander, grit of sandpaper, any problems you are having and solutions. I would really be interested.[/QUOTE]
I will keep you posted with pics. So far I'm sanding with Da sander & by hand with 80 grit. Next I will finish with 120 grit. Primer & sealer, more sanding & blocking. The big chore will be the body filler. She's been hit in the back and needs lots of work back there. Hey Tux, sorry about leaving the dark side. I've loved her black, but as Brian said, my wife wants red and beside that for years I said someday I WILL own a red vette. She's afraid if I don't paint her red I will have to buy another one.
After seeing Brians vette I figured it was time to move to the Bright Side.

Ya Man. Maybe I should just put her back together and Leave her the way she is. Kind of a gold camouflage.
Sure would be a lot easier.

Now it looks likes Ken's.
Paint it any color you want, as long as it is red on the layer just before the clear coat.

Sure would be a lot easier.I have no idea why, but I like the GOLD. 
It grows on ya, like mold growin' on some left over's in the fridge.

I thought War Bonnet Yellow or Sunflower Yellow was offered only on '71's. 
Riverside Gold or Daytona Yellow was offered in '69. Also, what does your sander look like?

Also, what does your sander look like?Believe it or not, that is Warbonnet Yellow. That's what it looks like when you sand it down. The sander looks a lot like me. Oh, you mean the tool? It's just a regular dual action sander. I like Ken's car. The more sanding I do the better his looks. A little primer here and ther and we could be twins. I'm "ever loving ugly too"
