Let me make this clear.....   The vette org colors are BLACK outside..
RED inside.. and some a$$clown used black on the inside.....

I am going to restore the inside to RED.... and I am thinking of a Black/red custom paint job on the outside....

Very cool pics. Thanks for posting!   

So what's up with the rust under the dash? Is it normal to find it there?

[QUOTE=dwright]A BIG DITTO on that for me too.
I like taking thinks apart, cleaning them all up.
But when I put it all back together and I have a bunch of parts left over, or I can't find that little screw, that's when the cursing starts.
 
Good luck with your project and thanks for sharing.

Joe, the original motor color for the 80 is blue, side note when you get motor out check oil pan for pitting. My red vette needs the pan replaced, once rust was removed pits appeared. Confused
