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 I'll let Tim elaborate from there Last edited by napa68; 03-22-2024 at 12:13 AM. |

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? K

"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.

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. Bill Last edited by Big Block Bill; 03-22-2024 at 12:35 PM. |

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.
