Your paint doesn't look that bad, so I would concentrate on the mechanical! You don't want to get stranded someplace!

The Rook said: Probably not this year for paint :( .....Im thinking I might tweek everything and go through my "to do" list, button up all the odd and ends and start saving for a complete repaint next year......



Are your gauges still bouncing around?
Sure am glad I'm not  one of the next few people getting a tile job estimate from you..... Shocked

Vette(s): 1979 L-82, 3 spd auto, car was originally Lt. Beige currently painted Sportsman Red, Doeskin leather interior, 103,000 miles......
Fuel gauge is still a bouncing, however I did buy a new low fuel circut bulb holder and replacing that is on the short list......dont fear my brother Ebo I wont take out the big wallet hit on next my customer....I gots morals.....but I am looking to do a few extra side jobs.
 
And Brian, I picked it up yesterday and its totally amazing how much better it handles and how responsive its become. Its funny how you can used to how a C3 responds, now I gotta learn it all over again....no complaints though.  You move the wheel and the car moves instantly......no more wet mop steering here.  
 
LOVE IT!!!!

If only that were real! Notice how when both rear wheels were in the dirt it didn't spin out? Try that yourself and see what happens!
