Vette(s): 1979 Red T-Top - Previously owned by Adam Wartell and a 1970 Orange T-Top w/Baldwin Motion Exterior mods Flared fenders,Rear slanted window and spoiler all done in early seventies, 4 inch Hooker side pipes, ET III wheels LT-1 4speed
If you properly prep the car there is no need to remove the doors or front bumper and you get a better and safer job. Installing the front bumper after its painted is bad enough without having to worry about paint cracking when its tightened. I have restored dozens of this vintage CC3 Corvettes and they come out great this way !!! Look at the bumper fit No Paint build up !!! looks like it was installed after paint. Jim

Jim,
Thanks for the outside shots! She looks MUCH better (and Redder) in the sunlight!
So, have you done anything to the engine, interior or weatherstripping/t-tops yet?
If so, what have you done?
If not, do you have plans for any of those areas? What are the plans?

Hey, also, I just noticed, the body panel t-tops were not on top in the shop. Did you spray those at the same time? (Off the car, I'm guessing)

Dog gone good job!! Ya know, I wanted to buy that car but it's a good thing Jim bought it. If Adam knew that I was thinking it would be sweet to paint it hot pink, his jaw would of dropped off....
.....that would match the Louis V. seat covers and interior.....it would be so awesome for this female vette lover! Oh YEAH!!
