Topic: Will She Ever Be Done?
in Forum: C3 General Discussion
Well I was hoping to post pics of my car done by now. She's painted and just needs rubbing out. paint looks awesome. I been putting her back together and almost done. They wanted to replace the windshield after the paint job, and you guessed it. The frame is solid rust. They tell me it can be repaired, however much more time before she's on the road. I sure wish we would have done this before paint. Hopefully I'll be able to drive her before winter sets in. Been very busy at work so I'm sorry I haven't been online much lately. I miss you guy's.

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

I hope "they" don't decide to do even more stuff, and find even MORE stuff...geeeeeez...
Well, hang in there bud...it' get there, sooner or later.

That sux!

I know how you feel, sorta... I called my painter tonight, supposed to get the car tomorrow nite which is fine however, I'm leaving for a week and a half on this THURSDAY to help a buddy of mine haul hay so I only get to drive her for about an hour. Good thing I'm PADI certified (NOT).
Anyway, when I called he didn't answer and called me back about an hour later. He said we have a small problem...or two... First, the door handle outside on the drivers side broke, now mind you, I just replaced the PASSENGER side before she went in to paint, IN FEB of this year. With all the d@mned rain and humidity, she's just now about ready. He wants to wash her and put another coat of Zaino on her before I get her tomorrow. Oh yeah, the other issue, seems we have some pinholes on both fenders that didn't appear till about 2 weeks after clearcoat went on.
The nice thing is I get to keep her till after Eureka Springs weekend, but she will go BACK IN for paint in October to have the fenders sanded and reshot.
So yeah, man, I do feel your pain. Hope they get yours fixed and don't find anything else.
