Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
My C3 is sitting in the body shop of the college waiting on supplies.
Once they get there, the project will begin.  The promotion company said that 3M should have shipped the stuff 3 weeks ago.  I will find out more early in the week, maybe Monday.
 
The rear suspension bushings and diff shafts are here.  I got the rear bearings and seals locally.  Also here are the seat cushions, covers, carpet, wiper switch bezel, window guides and inner and outer door edge window strips. 
 
Custom paint supplies are ready for use once the paint is on the car.  Looks like a lot of planning may be starting to come together.   Once the stuff is in the body shop, it should be out in 2 months.  Perhaps mid summer it will look decent and be on the road.
 
Keep your fingers and toes crossed.

 That's great to hear, Ken. I was thinking about your project yesterday and was wondering if there had been any progress. Can't wait to see it. Keep us posted. Thumbs%20Up


   I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

Most excellent news!  Hope the promo company can get everything sorted out so the body shop can get going.  Also hope they can find some of the other things you need for the project.
