Phill's Vette Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Brett, Take the rub stripe off of the doors and rear fenders... Just looks wrong!Still looks like a fun project, keep up posted on your progress. Also, good idea on returning to the original white! Of all the modifications that can be done to a C3, keeping the original color is a MUST for me, even if it was Hot Pink.......Thanks God GM never used that color! A Stingray will be my next vette maybe this year; looking for a 71-75 to restore and/or to hotrod the hell out of. I will only do so much to my 82 as to keep it basically stock. Keep the pics coming as you restore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the pics coming as you restore! I couldn't agree with you both more! That moulding is coming off soon! It will be a long time before I'll be able to have it painted, but it's abosultely going to back to white. I've got a new nose coming next week and a few other parts and pieces to get me started.

hiperf406 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Yeah looked good but just way too many problems keeping it on the road. I replaced just about everything on it over 5 years but finally admitted defeat & parked it, finally got around to selling it . Learned a lesson - don't buy a cheap vette it'll beat you down.

Desertdawg Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 My 82 was in good shape, but it was in need of at least 3 parts at any given time... I'm not sure I ever got ahead of the curve!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
