Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
Here are a few update photos for my C3, complete with students
 
 
A new coat of epoxy coating to repair/replace the gel coat.  Still a bit rough.
 
 
 
The blue is NOT the final color.  It is left over paint used to find high/low spots while block sanding
 
 
A lot of the blue goes away as the surface gets smoother.
 
 
 
Many of the low spots are now filled with "icing", really a very thick primer putty to fill in, then more sanding in prep for primer.
 
 
 
You can't see the doors or bumper, but they are in the process of getting the same treatment.

You sure you don't want yellow????   Looking good.

Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.
