Finally... got some Corvette Bronze paint back on the car!

I hope that I don't regret it some day, but I retained all the original patina under the hood, in the trunk, door jambs (where possible), etc. Just the way I like it! The car simply received a repaint (had been repainted once before) and a thorough cleaning/detailing.

Now tell that body guy of yours to get that thing done and get to work on the Chevelle you have had "in prison" there for the last 5 years!

Yes it seemed like that for a long while, but there was more to it behind the scenes. I'm glad that things appear to be coming together nicely. I'll definitely let you know how things are going. Thanks for your support buddy!

I was going to post some more photos of the stages along the way... but I'll skip to the present.

Here it is, just as the last snow came and went the other day!
