Wow! Adam, are you wanting it back yet?
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79
Jim,
Thank you for the updates!
It kinda looks orange in the pictures. I hope that is the florescent light doing that.
Also, how come you didn't pull the bumpers and doors before you sprayed? I thought that gives it a better finish.
When it's done, you know you're gonna have to let me come visit her, right!?!?!

My first Vette, now owned by JB79:
It does look kinda orangey but I'm sure it's the lighting. I've been wondering how the car was doing! It's neat seeing the color and clear coat in process since I didn't get to see mine! Keep up the good work! 
Barry
Glad to see it having a new lease on life.

JB are there any other plans for the car now that the outside is done? Stroker?
