Correct amount is important.

Beautiful “7”, thanks for the photos.

Wow - well done!

Tim understood what my vision for the car was. No doubt folks, this is no good sh!t ass work. Tim G executed it perfectly!

I don't think the exterior pics Tim provided really did the car justice. The paint was another item that I did not get to before we commenced our deal. There is a lot of time with a Meguiars product and a tube sock:grin: I'll let Tim elaborate from there:)

1) She's a sweetie.

2) What do you suppose possessed somebody to paint that chassis orange? Don't you wish you (or someone with some foresight) could have been there to stop him?

"What do you suppose possessed somebody to paint that chassis orange?"
Exactly what I was thinking!!!

I have had some really hair brained ideas. When I first got my 69 Z/28 in 1976, I ALMOST sanded the white stripes off and painted them cobweb in gold. Original Black car. In 76, the black and gold TAs were all the rage.

But... I never once thought about painting the entire chassis of any car orange; let alone an original paint Corvette.

Outstanding work and beautiful car!

Very pretty car! I’m surprised you got all that done in 80 hours!

I have no idea why the chassis was painted orange, not a very good paint job at that.
As I was cleaning, the Eric Clapton song "cocaine" kept playing in my head.

Tim,

I remember the story of the 12 mile 1967 L-88 that had the whole underneath painted white when David Burroughs got it out of Lincoln Auto Parts. Painting the underside of a Corvette must have been the thing to do back then.

I've done some things I regret, too, but it is more in the realm of using gloss black instead of semi gloss/matte/satin finish.

;)
