MOTV8 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Or... How I spent all my tax refund on the vette, part 7 Some of you have seen the heap. Up close. It needed a makeover, bad. LPM just fixed up the mechanical crap for me, but being daily driven for 90K miles, the Loop 101 shotgun-blasted black paint with a nasty new hood blister and some Dukes-o-Hazzard-style curb-jumpin' damage finally mandated a trip down to Joe and Classic Gold. Here's some befores of the damage and the blister: Did you wince? So I'm vette-less, for awhile anyway...Ted. After Joe and Classic Gold work their body and paint magic, gonna get it clear-bra'd too. I also decided it was finally time to give in to all you wagonwheel haters, so the brown truck dropped off somethin' today too... I'm thinkin' Nitto Invos this time around. Should look sweet. I'll try to get some in-progress shots and the obligatory after-shots, now that Victor has set the bar so high on the repaint-threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstrutt Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 We all have to do it sooner or later or sell it. Good luck she'll be sweet when Joe's done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
