Vette(s): 1971 Brands Hatch Green L48 Coupe Automatic Driver - restored 1995

The paint is on and my painter is going to start rubbing it out today.  It will take a day or so to put back together and I should get her back this weekend.  Looked at her yesterday.  He had just color sanded her so it was hard to see the color.  It looks a little different than what it was.  maybe a little more blue or gray and more metal flake,  I hope I like it.  Now I will have about a week to get ready for Eureka Springs.  I had the seats recovered and am re-dying some of the interior pieces.  They all need it but some will have to wait til after Eureka.

this was taken as he touched up some nicks in the glass before primer and paint.

Very cool! Did you go with Brands Hatch Green again, or a different color? Be sure to post pics when you get her back.

The paint distributor could not mix the Brands Hatch so we shot the fuel door on his computer.  I will be interested to see the final result.

That's a bit drastic, don't cha think? Shooting the poor computer cause it didn't have the formula you wanted? Shame, SHAME on you, Tim!!
And just where the heck IS the fuel door on a 'puter?




Hope it turns out nice, anyway, you bad man...
