Corvette Progress update

#1 Post by Hitchcock » Sun Apr 11, 2010 8:30 pm

Got out to the shop for a bit today, Kevin is plugging away at it. And doing a fine job as well. He is also doing some work for HP Drifter, I'm gonna go spy on Sid's car too. :thumb:

Yeah, we watched you paint for a while. I saw a big run, but it wasn't on the car. It was just above your left ear.

Painting cages is fun, isn't it? Like I told Kevin this morning, when the undertaker rolls me out of my place, past the car, he'll probabally say, "Look, he missed a spot."

Like I told you: If your friends don't give you a raft of chit, you'd have to go to strangers!

Photos look like you got a lot done after I got out of your way. Looks nice.

Hitch,

Looks real good. Your going to have a nice ride when it's done.

Here's a jump to the future, what color is it going to be?

Tig, it looks real good man. :thumb: :thumb:

Of course, we NEED MORE PICTURES.......

Not sure yet on the color, its black now. I love black hotrods. But I'm really looking at maybe orange too. So it will look loud too.

Thanks, Bit I cant take credit for any of this. Tig welder has done everything you have seen thus. All I have done is help cut some crap up. It was a pretty painful expierence.

Need to get the engraver out and make that rear end housing look like a high dollar match grade 12 gauge shotgun. Then douse the whole thing in pink paint.
