Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
The car went into the paint booth.  All the epoxy sealer is now flat, with the icing has filled low spots, and it's getting primer.  There is even a bit of color put into door jambs, so you can see the
RED color that's going on the car.   
 
Sanded sealer and icing feathered in the low spots
 
 
Shooting the primer
 
 
More primer, and a bit of color in the door jambs
 
 
Yes you can see the color now.  Paying attention Micki and Tux???
It's gonna be TORCH RED!

Ken,

I think I am more excited than you. I love watching color go on. The car simply becomes a "new" car. Looks like your guys are really into the job. I know that you are going to be very pleased. Keep us posted!
